Chapter 1: The Lore of Yharim's World
At the heart of the Calamity Mod lies a deep, interconnected narrative that few players fully explore. The story follows the rise and fall of Yharim, the self-proclaimed "Calamity" who once ruled the world with an iron fist. Through exclusive data mining and developer insights, we've reconstructed the complete timeline:
📜 The Age of Dragons
Long before the player arrives, the world was dominated by powerful dragonkin. The Great Dragons—Yharon, Braelor, and Stasis—ruled over distinct realms. Yharim, originally a humble warrior, rose to power by slaying Braelor and absorbing its power, marking the beginning of his tyrannical reign.
