| ⚫ | * This happened twice in ''[[Divine Blood]]''. First was the tanar with the KT event being theorized by the silthine. Then it was the war between silthine and tanar that destroyed civilization a second time. Then humans develop and rename the two races Demons (tanar) and Gods (silthine). Current hopes include avoiding a third civilization-ending event. |
||
| ⚫ | * In the ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' storyline, the Thran peoples, the makers of many of the world's most powerful artifacts, were mere legend by the time Urza and Mishra showed up. And then Urza ''himself'' was a mere legend (though still alive as a planeswalker) by the time the Weatherlight Saga began. |
||
| ⚫ | ** The storyline for the Zendikar block is much the same. In antiquity, the fearsome [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldrazi]] ravaged the plane, nearly ending it in the process, before being sealed away. Millenia later, the only remembrance that any of the citizens of Zendikar have of the Eldrazi is that they are the namesakes of the Kor and Merfolk pantheon of Gods, and are, ironically, worshiped, as lifegivers of the plane. |

* The [[New World of Darkness]] RPG setting posits that an unknown number of thousands of years ago, the magic-wielding residents of Atlantis decided to build a ladder to heaven; their failure produced the new World of Darkness. Whether the fact that one of the "heroic" factions of mages (known as the ''Silver Ladder'') holds the whole concept of 'hubris' up as a ''false'' flaw is an aversion or subversion is left for the players to decide... |

* ''[[Rifts]]'' takes place on Earth in the late 24th century, nearly [[After the End|300 years]] after an event known as The Great Cataclysm or The Coming of the Rifts. The Cataclysm occurred after a minor nuclear exchange in South America during a rare conjunction of supernatural events which caused a psychic backlash that nearly wiped out all humanity. During the period where the game is set, Humanity has only recently begun regaining a place for itself in the world, and the world before the apocalypse is almost entirely unknown, refered to as the Time Before Rifts, the Golden Age of Humanity, or simply the Time of Man. |
