Discovery of the Adiyya ka Pharvaarava (concept)
The discovery of the Adiyya ka Pharvaarava (often named the 'Fount of Ill-Knowledge' in the west) was an event in Kashiryan history that is widely accepted (despite arguments from Vidvaookeyatran scholars) to be the beginning event in what would become known as the Murtuy ka Varha or 'Years of Death'.
At some point over a year before the Years of Death, the Vidvaookeyatran scholar Navad Javhad, discovered what they proclaimed to be one of the Librarians many lost studies and with it a fount of long-lost ancient knowledge no doubt meant to be passed to man (later to be named the Fount of Ill-Knowledge). Even among the Vidvaookeyatran scholarly class, who would normally be enthused at any discovered lore, the concept of releasing the findings became controversial. The lost knowledge contained a plethora of spells and rituals once completely unknown, that would allow one to summon the lost spirits of the past to communicate with or render aid, as well as let one commit to a rudimentary form of what in the west is referred to as Lichdom.
Despite warnings, Javhad decided to begin copying the information en-masse for distribution. Many of the scrolls sent from his academy in Dorajpor found themselves in the hands of Daramarjaratan cultists, long ostracized from the mainstream of their faith for an obsession with necromancy. This proved to be apocalyptic, within a month of learning of the rituals, the cults of the southeast began rapidly performing the spells at a scale far beyond what both their bodies were capable of and what the rituals suggested. Whether because of intentional evil or accidental stupidity, the southeast of Kashirya was soon rapidly overwhelmed by legions of spirits and the undead, beginning the Murtuy ka Varha.
