The Catacalysm

The Cataclysm was several event of immense and widespread natural disasters that brought destruction or upheaval that dramatically altered large parts of the world. The Catacalysm became a collective name for a collection of natural disasters beyond the ordinary. It was however described in different ways around the world with different explanations aswell, depending on the religious or cultural origin of the explanation. The common characteristics of The Catacalysm was its catastrophic and often irreversible changes, resulting in significant loss of life, infrastructure, and environmental stability.

The First Phase

The First Phase of the Catacalysm probably started in the western lands far away from Kurdistan, where it is said that violent storms destroyed massive forests and animal life.

In northern lands, reports of massive lands going under water was reported. Not long after these reports a several months long event started in the origin lands of the Turks, far far to the east from Kurdistan, leaving an indelible mark on the planet and its inhabitants. The lands of the Turks experienced intense seismic activity, with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions ravaging numerous regions. Cities crumbled, and entire landscapes were transformed as the very foundations of the planet shifted. Tsunamis, fueled by massive underwater disturbances, battered coastal areas, causing further devastation and loss of life. Simultaneously, the skies darkened with colossal storm systems. Hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes lashed out with unmatched ferocity, tearing apart communities and infrastructures.

The once-familiar elements of nature turned against humanity, exhibiting raw power and destructive force that humbled even the most advanced technologies. But the cataclysm did not stop there. As the First Phase continued into The Second Phase, the Catacalysm was introduced into the Arabian Lands south of Kurdistan. During the first phase approximately 2.4 billion people lost their lifes.

The Second Phase

The Second Phase unleashed a wave of unprecedented climatic changes. Temperatures soared to unprecedented heights, creating blistering heatwaves that rendered vast areas uninhabitable. Droughts plagued previously fertile lands, leading to widespread crop failures and famine. Meanwhile, other regions experienced unrelenting deluges, causing floods of biblical proportions that displaced millions and submerged entire cities. Amidst this turmoil, the ecological balance was shattered. Species extinction rates skyrocketed as habitats were decimated, and ecosystems collapsed. Once-thriving biodiversity gave way to desolate landscapes and dwindling food chains. The very fabric of life on Earth unraveled as countless species succumbed to the cataclysmic forces. As the Catacalysm reached its climax, it left behind a scarred and transformed world. Survivors faced a daunting task of rebuilding shattered societies, healing traumatized landscapes, and adapting to the new normal, but most of these people ended up dead. For most people, the only way out of the Catacalysm were to migrate and hopefully find a new place to call home. cataclysm served as a stark reminder of the fragility of human civilization and the planet we call home. Even if the second phase hit against most of the world, it affected the Arabian Peninsula the most. The second phase of the Catacalysm have until now killed about 1.6 billion people around the world.

The Aftermath of the Phases

The Catacalysm’s second phase is considered still on going, the affects of the different phases have made most of the world unliveable with the exception of a few locations at each continent of the world. Kurdistan was between the shift of the first and second phase affected by massive sandstorms, originally coming from the dry areas of Rojava passing through to affect Bashur aswell. The sandstorms killed around 8 million Kurds between 255 – 252 B.L resulting in the Kurds adapting to surviving the sandstorm by creating Kurdish Sandstorm Masks aswell as needed protection for houses and buildings. In Bakur, similar volcanic eruptions occurred as in the origin lands of the Turks, however, the Kurds, prepared for such events, had constructed essential lava channels and pathways. These engineering marvels were designed to guide and control the lava’s flow, ensuring that their lands remained protected from the cataclysmic lava attacks. Through their foresight and planning, the Kurds managed to safeguard their settlements from the most devastating effects of the cataclysm. In other areas, however large number of people were migrating towards Kurdistan.

The Arabian Migration

The disturbing aftermath of the Al-Batin Sandstorm which killed millions.

In the southern lands where the Arabs once thrived, the cataclysm brought forth an extreme escalation of temperature. The heat became unbearable, scorching the earth and making it uninhabitable. As the sun blazed relentlessly, water sources dried up, leaving parched landscapes devoid of life. The air itself became suffocating, with the searing heat making it nearly impossible for humans and plants to survive. Over 90 million people went into mass migration between 255 – 254 B.L in the Arabian lands. Their journey was fraught with peril, as the harsh conditions tested their endurance and resilience. Countless lives were lost along the way as they battled extreme heat, dehydration, and exhaustion. But on their migration path, starting in the Arabian capital and moving north, new groups of suffering arabs joined the mass migration. The path maintained a grueling trek through barren and desolate landscapes. The scorching temperatures intensified, creating a relentless heatwave that enveloped the land. The air was dry and suffocating, making every breath a struggle. The migrants were exposed to the harsh elements, enduring blistering sun rays that beat down upon them mercilessly. Sandstorms became a common occurrence, whipped up by the cataclysmic winds that swept across the desolate regions. These storms brought a swirling torrent of sand, reducing visibility and making progress arduous. The migrants had to seek shelter, huddling together, and waiting for the storms to pass before they could resume their arduous journey. Water became a scarce and precious resource along the migration path. The cataclysm had sucked dry the once-abundant water sources, leaving behind arid landscapes. The migrants were plagued by dehydration, their bodies weakened by the lack of sustenance. They had to ration the little water they carried, relying on their resilience and determination to keep pushing forward.

The Turkish Migration

For the Turks, their cataclysm took the form of catastrophic volcanic eruptions. Lava erupted violently from the towering mountains that once stood as majestic landmarks. The molten rock cascaded down with a force that could not be contained, obliterating cities and monuments in its path. The rivers of lava consumed everything in their wake, leaving behind a trail of destruction and desolation. Over 120 million Turks migrated, starting in the eastern lands of Mongolia while at least half their population was eradicated by the catacalysm, the migrating people was looking for more luck in the west. Less about the Turkish migration path is known, but just as the Arabs, there is no doubt that they went through hell to arrive to Kurdistan.
