Second Awakening of Khothar

According to legend, thousands of years ago (8 June 4220 B.F.R. traditionally), Khothar the Great reawakened from his mighty tomb and came to destroy the already declining Heroic Age civilizations, the Great Pyramid of Ravenfield from which the civilizations gained power, and the old gods, replacing them with his new gods of death, destruction, plague and famine, causing a dark age that lasted centuries and destroyed all traces of Heroic Age civilization.

From that point on, the people of Ravenfield would sacrifice all kinds of animate entities, from livestock to birds to even humans in difficult times. The Flamekeeper's Temple was founded by priest Saeeron in 3921 B.F.R. to regulate such activity.

This event is used as an explanation for the apparent lack of Heroic Age civilizations, which should have left identifiable objects if the Heroic Age was real.
