0 The Awis

The Awis, the Darkest Night or the Darkening Land, refers to a monumental event around 1400 AD when a great darkness enveloped the world. This period, marked by the belief that a powerful evil had caused the Great Spirit to flee, is now understood to have been triggered by a massive meteor strike. This cataclysmic event introduced radiation, rare elements, and exotic matter to Earth, leading to severe climate changes that lasted for hundreds of years. The consequences for the inhabitants of North and South America were profound, as they faced a growing northern ice shelf, extended winters, violent oceans, and significant disruptions in animal and plant populations, resulting in starvation and conflict among tribes.

Despite the challenges posed by the Awis, the people adapted to their new environment, utilizing the gifts left by the Great Spirit. The event also marked the emergence of the Adanadi, a mysterious purple mark that appeared on plants, animals, and people, initially seen as a source of inspiration and later recognized for its potential power. As time passed, the harsh conditions began to improve, with the seas calming and the ice shelf retreating northward. The subsequent rise of new technologies and trade led to a significant improvement in the standard of living for all, allowing societies to flourish in the wake of the Awis.
