Conjunction of the Spheres

The Conjunction of the Spheres is a cataclysm which occurred 1,500 years before the events in the novels, trapping many "unnatural" creatures in this dimension, including ghouls, graveirs and vampires. It was during this time that the elves say humans first appeared, their own world having been destroyed. Humans did not settle on the continent until many hundreds of years after that.

Note
In Blood of Elves, Danusia Stok translates "conjunction" as "interpenetration".

There is also a book in the game by the same title.

A book describing this event entitled "The Conjunction of the Spheres" can be purchased in Vergen in Chapter II. Reading the book provides a journal entry on the subject.

Journal entry

 * There are scores of learned works, dissertations and treatises about this magical cataclysm from about 1500 years ago. Because of this event, creatures never seen before entered our world, and still do not have their own ecological niche here. Among others, graveirs and ghouls are relics of the permeation of the spheres, though elven tradition has it that we, humans, are also newcomers from that time. The sorcerers claim that time humanity received both the wondrous gift and the terrible curse that they consider magic to be at that time.
