Line 19:
* The anime ''[[Scrapped Princess]]'' makes use of this trope: it is revealed in the end that the medieval world that the characters live in was {{spoiler|an artificial enclave for humanity built on a section of a planet's crust elevated from the rest of the world}}. From the shots of the whole world, it is implied that {{spoiler|this planet is Earth. Mauser, the deity of the world as well as other mythological characters are actually individuals who lived and fought in the era when humanity was robbed of most of its technology, ostensibly after losing a war against an alien race.}}
* It is unclear how much of the vague, over-the-top legendary backstory of ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' is true and how much is just an ignorant dramatization of the real events. The Administar, for example, is definitely something the locals have no idea about (given what Miyu does to it in the end), which doesn't stop them from reciting symbolic poems devoted to the "guiding blue star", supposedly written by the [[Ancient Astronauts]] from Earth.

*** It's unclear if they did the former. There are some indications that despite of all their accomplishments they were never interested in heavier than air flight.
* Terry Brooks' [[Shannara]] books are set in a post-apocalyptic world, but it rarely directly impacts the story. It does inform characters' ethos and directs at least one organization. Still, they're being properly connected in a new trilogy.
** Except in the ''Voyage of the Jerle Shannara'' trilogy, where characters come up against futuristic remnants of the pre-apocalyptic world's technology. Specifically, they encounter a [[
* The exact nature of "The Tribulation" in ''[[The Chrysalids]]'' is never specified, but it's implied to be a nuclear disaster of some kind and believed by the characters to have been a punishment from God.
* The Young Adult fantasy novel ''Runemarks'' has this, with bonus Norse Gods.

** And Humans got off LIGHTLY. The Eldar literally created the [[Eldritch Abomination|god of excess]] and destroyed their galactic empire, with those killed [[Crapsack World|tortured for all eternity]] as the god's playthings.
*** And of course there's the Horus Heresy where the super soldiers the Emperor made to be the perfect weapons of war got fed up with their post for a variety of reasons then fully half of them turned to chaos and set about trying to destroy or conquer everything in their path.

* ''[[Bionicle]]'' has two examples: The Great Cataclysm and The Shattering.
** The Great Cataclysm refers to the devastation that the Matoran Universe went through when [[Physical God|Mata Nui]] fell into a coma. This however was deliberately [[Invoked Trope|invoked]] by the Turaga, who feared that the Matoran [[Go Mad
** The Shattering refers to when the planet Spherus Magna [[Earthshattering Kaboom|shattered into the three smaller planets]]: Bara Magna, Aqua Magna, and Bota Magna. This is a genuine example of this trope, as few people remember what really happened.
