The Upheaval

Not much is known of the details of what happened next. If it were not for the scars on the land and the tireless work of the Masters of Erudition, perhaps all record would be lost as another casualty to cataclysm that was the Upheaval. The sheer magnitude of the energies unleashed in the ensuing battles of gods and mortals alike was enough to fray the boundaries holding back the elemental chaos, spilling unbridled destruction into the world. It completely rearranged the known flow of magical ley energy across Aondor. It changed landscapes, some forever disfigured and cursed or sunken into the seas and forgotten.

In end, Brakkis The Betrayer killed Ao, though it nearly took his own life. The Betrayer was reduced to an avatar, back into his mortal shell of Brakkis The Bold. A trio who would become known as The Champions of Aondor, found the avatar of Brakkis and destroyed him. They took the RELICS and SWORD, had them magically sealed in iron chests by Priests of Ao, and buried them across Aondor.
