The Great Pause

Before The Great Pause, Geminian prophets spoke that an event of eschaton was edging closer and closer to Austellus. The king at the time, King Auxilium Caelestius, dismissed the preaching as nihilism, but one of his five sons, Deus Caelestius, bent an ear to the word. Deus Caelestius, being the youngest of his siblings and last in line to the throne, took up magic and mastered it before he was old, some saying he was the greatest mage to have ever lived. That's why when the prophets spoke of such catastrophe, Deus Caelestius along with his vexxing paranoia took it upon himself to save what little of life that would listen.

Using magic to freeze the waters just off the shores of Caelestia, Deus Caelestius created a bunker by the name of the Celestial Complex; an island completely isolated from Austellus. Although just an island, Deus Caelestius had created an entire world in the Complex, infinite lands with their own life being encapsulated in the project.

Panic ensued when the prophecies came true, the only ones to survive the event being the smart ones seeking refuge under Deus Caelestius' protection. Because of this, he was given the name 'Saviour'. Shortly after, he was crowned King of Austellus by his followers in the safety of the Celestial Complex, while he used magic to try and return the seasons to their normal cycles.

The cause of The Great Pause is still unknown, but is widely believed to be an intervention of the gods following The Hex War in 14 BP.
