The Age of Rot

The Age of Rot
The news of Pansear's disappearance calmed the tensions between Cuisine's nations momentarily, but this peace was short-lived as the rulers began to fight over who was to blame for his abandonment.

Fighting resumed until the next disaster struck the following year. The Rot.

One fateful day, this sickness was discovered by a lowly farmer from northeast Cuisine, crops began to rot, and creatures that were overtaken over by it began attacking towns and wreaking havoc across the land. That day marked the First Spoiled Harvest, and according to scholars, the beginning of the Age of Rot.

Without the assistance of their once worshiped idol, and their respective might weakened by the wars, it looked like this would be the end for the people of Cuisine.

The age of Rot  and the war that it brought with it went on for five decades, and its effects on the land and the people of Cuisine ran deep. Children born during that time were born weaker and sickly, most dying in their infancy. Those who prevailed became known as the malnourished generation. The effects of their harsh upbringing lasting all of their lives.

Saint Sauté's rising, and her campaign across the nations of Cuisine to band them together and drive back the forces is celebrated by the faithful as the beginning of the end of this age. A festival known as The Rising is celebrated on the Harvest month to celebrate her first recorded appearance.
