The Great Calamity

The Great Calamity was what had given birth to all Lumminai life in Oricai. A great rift had torn through the Kingdom of Oricai and released a massive wave of this unknown race of beings. While both destructive and feared, the Lumminai were named for the light that was given off from the Calamity that birthed them.

The Calamity had caused the great city of Disempaia to be destroyed with it's wake. This was something all the inhabitants of the land blamed the Lumminai for. As a result, they sought only to kill them and end the lives of the beings that destroyed so many even if unintentional.

The years after were filled with death and chaos as the Lumminai would fight amongst themselves for power and the humans would try to hunt any they seen down. With the Rift of the Parallels open, Oricai had to evacuate their kingdom in order to keep the remaining people safe.

A great wall was built around the Rift to prevent anymore Lumminai from pouring into Oricai and causing even more problems. This was an attempt that was soon thwarted when they realized that many of the Lumminai could fly over the wall or just pass through it like a spirit. It seemed as though their structures had no effect on preventing Lumminai from doing as they pleased.

While the people of Oricai had grown to fear the Lumminai, others sought out answers and tried to reason with them, usually resulting in their deaths, but eventually some Lumminai began to listen and understand that what they were doing was wrong. This brought about the Grand Lumminai Order, where the greatest amongst each of the elements would take hold over the rest of their element and try to calm their endless rage.

Many of the Lumminai began to subside from their violent nature, but others resisted and continued to raze human lands and fight amongst the Lumminai forces. After several years, and many Lumminai deaths, there was a controlled order of things. The Grand Lumminai created a short lived peace with the people of the world, which was sharply interrupted by Glarseseu's warring ways. After which, came the Clash of the Kingdoms.
