Great Maelstrom
Great Maelstrom is a term used by Wraiths to describe a super-maelstrom.
Overview
Great Maelstroms are unleashed in times of great death and destruction in the mortal world. In recorded history, there have only been six. The dating system of Stygia measures time by the number of years since the beginning of the last Great Maelstrom. For example, 2024 would be Anno Stygiae 79 Post Quintum, or Anno Stygiae 25 Post Sexium.
