The Third Age, known as the Age of Strife, is defined by sustained conflict between mortal forces and the Pantheon, culminating in the collapse of divine rule and the end of the gods’ dominance over Arkanthys.
The Age began with organized resistance led by Gabriel Aurellian, emerging from the growing oppression and restrictions imposed during the Rise of the Pantheon. What started as localized defiance evolved into a widespread uprising, drawing support from disparate regions, factions, and individuals who rejected divine authority.
