The Second Ruin was a cataclysmic event that occurred on Eamon around 16500 BA, roughly 2,300 years after the fall of the Tasavalta during the First Ruin. Of all the occurrences in the Cycle of Ruin, the second is the most poorly understood by modern historians, but scattered evidence suggests that many civilizations throughout Addar and likely beyond were either crippled or destroyed by the monstrous hordes that overran the world.
