Divine War

The Divine War (or Titanswar, as some call it) was such a terrible conflict that it is impossible to do more than estimate its length: such was the devastation that the seasons and time itself broke down. Reports speak of summer and winter trading places, of seasons passing in a day or seeming to last a decade. The battle shook stars from the sky, breaking down the constellations. Volcanoes flared. Cities and whole nations died. An entire continent was nearly leveled in a single explosion.

Historians mark the start of the war in the year 3466 of the Old Calendar, but within the first 20 years of fighting the reckoning of time became difficult. To the best reckoning, the fighting lasted for many decades, if not centuries. At its end, the gods repaired the seasons, hung new constellations, and put the heavens back on their tracks. Then they created the New Calendar, likely designed by Hedrada, and restarted the regular passage of time with the year 1 AV.
