The people of Raythe panicked. For a month they saw the fires of Ro burn, and then go dark forever. Empires collapsed, religions split off, and the year numbering system of Before Darkness and After Darkness was created.

The power allowed for new nations to take control, such as Minston. While colonization of the New World (the Ilthins, Arthane, and Norvein) began in the 100sBD, it really took off in the 300sAD.
