The Great Fracture

The cataclysmic event that shattered the crust of Xylos Prime. Originally believed to be a natural tectonic shift, recent theories by scholars like Elara Vance suggest it was a resonance cascade event triggered by unauthorized mining of the Core Song.

Consequences

• Physical: 70% of the planet's surface became uninhabitable or lost to deep space.
• Cultural: The "Silence" era began, where music was banned for fear of triggering further quakes.
• Ecological: The emergence of crystalline flora that feeds on static electricity.

Elara was a child during this event and claims to remember the "song" that played just before the ground broke.
