Abendroth Event

 "Sorry, but if a God exists, it stopped caring about us long ago."

- Frank Myhre talking to a survivor.

The Abendroth Event was a series of highly coordinated attacks enacted by the giants along the Abendroth Ridge. Over 200 human cities were levelled, and their populations annihilated, within the span of half a day. The Abendroth Event marked the beginning of the War with the Giants.

Survivors of the attacks were driven further into the mountains, where they would either die from the elements, or be killed by the advancing giants. The only cities with surviving members were Helios, Forge, and Stormshadow.
