2481 - 2483 : The Kitin War
In the year 2481, the kitins set out on a crusade to obliterate all
traces of hominkind. Many homins were able to escape through the
teleportation "rainbows" leading to safe haven in the Prime Roots of
far away lands.
Kami and Karavan forces did their best to give homins safe
conduct to the rainbows until these too were destroyed by kitins.
Remaining homins could do nothing but flee into the wilds where they
were forced to live nomadic lives in constant fear of kitin attacks. A
Karavan task force was eventually sent in to counter the arachnid
onslaughts. War ravaged in the ancient lands for many years until at
last the kitins were forced to retreat back into the depths of Atys.

able to rejoin the newly flourishing civilizations that had resurfaced
from their Prime Roots sanctuary in the new lands of promise.
