| rdfs:comment | - The Great Cataclysm is an event mentioned in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Arguably one of the most important, yet tragic events in Legend of Zelda mythos, it occurs at the moment when Ganondorf enters the Sacred Realm of legend and steals the Triforce, throwing the world into chaos. It is unknown exactly when the Great Cataclysm takes place, but since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is commonly understood to be when Ganondorf first obtains the Triforce, this is the most likely scenario.
- The Great Cataclysm was an event that occurred in 1,001 years ago. It was caused when Makuta Teridax rebelled against Mata Nui and sent him into a "deep sleep". With Mata-Nui out of the way the Brotherhood of Makuta rose to power following this event.
- The Great Cataclysm is an event in the history of Axeoth, and part of the backstory for Might and Magic IX. About five hundred years before the Reckoning struck the planet Enroth, the mage Verhoffin declared that his tower was a sovereign province, and independent of the great Ursanian Empire. When Emperor Trandis tried to have him assassinated, Verhoffin cast a spell that laid waste to half the Empire. The event caused the Empire to dissolve, and formed the basis for the new way of measuring time: in the same way that Enroth spoke of the number of years AS (After the Silence), Axeoth spoke of the number of years AC (After the Cataclysm).
- Over 36 years before the game began, a nuclear war destroyed Tokyo and the rest of the world, forcing humanity to hide in bomb shelters and allowed demons to invade and conquer Tokyo. During the confrontation with Satan, he reveals that he was the one who started the war by YHVH's orders.
- The Great Cataclysm was a hypothesized event that geologist Adari Vaal believed might have occurred in the planet Kesh's distant past. Vaal's comparison of minerals from the far-flung continents of Keshtah and Alanciar led her to believe that some massive event cut the two lands off from each other.
- A catalog of the destruction is as follows:
* The entire eastern section of the mainland—beginning with the stretch from Lost Hope Bay through Lock Lake—was lost, destroying the Drylands, Bloody Plains, Minoc, Cove and Vesper in the process.
* The western part of the continent was further split into northern and southern regions, destroying the Fens of the Dead and Spiritwood.
* The city of Trinsic was destroyed by floods.
* A huge volcanic eruption caused great upheaval in the Valorian Isles and destroyed the city of Jhelom.
* The isles of the Cape of Heroes all sunk into the sea.
* Paws was flooded, leaving the swamp-ridden remains practically uninhabitable.
* The whole southern half of the Isle of the Avatar was destroyed.
* Much of the eastern and w
- The Great Cataclysm was a major event in the history of the planet Elara. Elara was the 5th of seven planets in its solar system. Thousands of years ago the 3rd planet in the system deteriorated to the point of exploding. Then, the unthinkable happened. The third, fourth and fifth planets came into alignment. The added gravitation stresses were too much for the third planet to handle, and it exploded. The resulting shockwave shifted the orbit of the fourth planet, pushing it towards Elara.
- The Great Cataclysm was a pivotal event in the Earth's history. It occurred some time before 2050. Global warming took a turn for the worse, melting the polar ice caps and flooding much of the globe. Human intervention only made matters worse. The world's leading scientists used an experimental cooling agent to combat climate change. This left another quarter of the globe as frozen wasteland. The survivors were indirectly dominated by the Korven, who used the cover of the totalitarian Department. (TV: The Korven, Sirens of Ceres, Aeolian) Professor Alistair Gryffen was one of the scientists partially responsible for the event. (TV: Aeolian)
- Sometime in the distant past, the Brotherhood of Makuta was once an organization dedicated to serving the Great Spirit Mata Nui, and protecting the Matoran people. However, the Brotherhood eventually became corrupt, and believed that they could protect the Matoran best by dominating them. At least one member, the Makuta over the city of Metru Nui, was also jealous of the reverence that the people gave Mata Nui.
- Long before the event actually occurred, there was a Matoran legend, known as the Legend of Eternal Shadow, when the light of the Great Spirit will be lost forever. The sign of the legend coming true would be the twin suns of Metru Nui overlapping and darkening in a double eclipse. Teridax, the leader of the Brotherhood of Makuta, an organization dedicated to serving Mata Nui and protecting the Matoran, had begun making plans to take control over the Matoran Universe, inspired by the League of Six Kingdoms. To do this, he planned to infect Mata Nui with a virus, causing him to fall asleep.

- The Great Cataclysm was a major event in the history of the planet Elara. Elara was the 5th of seven planets in its solar system. Thousands of years ago the 3rd planet in the system deteriorated to the point of exploding. Then, the unthinkable happened. The third, fourth and fifth planets came into alignment. The added gravitation stresses were too much for the third planet to handle, and it exploded. The resulting shockwave shifted the orbit of the fourth planet, pushing it towards Elara. Several years preceeded the arrival of the fourth planet. These years were dominated by cosmic warning signs, which were misunderstood by the non-scientific and very religious Elarans. The first of the signs was the arrival of small meteor showers. They were a cause for alarm among the general populace. Some believed it was the Wizard Princes exacting some form of retribution for their downfall. Others believed the were angry with them for an undetermined reason. The priests took note, and began to hold assemblies to discuss the matter. The second sign made itself apparent with the arrival of the larger meteors. Much more damage was done, and there was a general panic. The priests began to preach of repentence. "We have wronged the gods," they said. Though the nobility was also frightened, they believed that the priests were using these events to incite revolts in order for religious factions to take power. When the shockwave hit, even at its relatively reduced magnitude, the geophysical disturbances caused havoc and devastation. The wave was not strong enough to shift Elara's orbit, or to rip away the atmosphere, but the priests hailed this as a sign of things yet to come. When all was over, this would be termed the Lesser Cataclysm. People started minor revolts against their government leaders, without being incited by the priests. Instead, it was a lack of action on the nobility's part that caused the unrest. Frustrated by their inability to stop the destruction, and positive that it was the priests that were behind the riots, had any outspoken member of a religious faction arrested. They would then be put on trial for treason. These trials only served to cause more dissention between the nobility and the commoners. Major revolts begin and class wars break out. Series of major battles and small skirmishes last for five months. Thousands died. It all came to an end when the fourth planet arrived. Nothing Elara had seen or yet experienced prepared her people for the massive geological upheaval they now had to endure. Slightly off course for Elara, the fourth planet, named Miranor, was nonetheless close enough to be caught in Elara's gravity. It was enough to halt Miranor's progress and draw it into a Twin orbit with Elara. The cosmic and planetary forces unleashed on Elara caused geological and geophysical chaos. The face of the planet was literally changed. Some land became submerged under oceans. Sea beds rose up out of the water to become dry land. Volcanoes and mountains sprung up everywhere. Nowhere was safe. The millions of beings inhabiting the planet were reduced to mere thousands. Pockets of Elarans managed to survive, but were scattered all across the globe. "Society" had to be reinvented, and habitations rebuilt. It took hundreds of years for any type of "civilization" to reappear, and even longer for the people to stop warring and fighting for their survival long enough to come together peacefully and start to repopulate the planet. Cultures and languages that had existed before the Cataclysm needed to mutate and evolve, and became virtually unrecognizable from their previous forms. Elarans "reinvented" themselves, but most importantly, survived.

At least one member, the Makuta over the city of Metru Nui, was also jealous of the reverence that the people gave Mata Nui. Makuta's plan, supported by the rest of the Brotherhood, was to attack Mata Nui with such force that the Great Spirit would eventually slip into eternal sleep, giving Makuta the freedom to take the his place as the Matoran's object of admiration. What Makuta probably did not know was that such an attack could eventually prove fatal to Mata Nui, and therefore the universe, but he went ahead with it anyway.Official Greg Discussion p. 194 at BZPower forums, post #5807 Makuta launched this attack in the wake of his bodyguards, the Toa Hagah, rebelling against him; before the Brotherhood's corruption could be exposed any further.Official Greg Discussion p. 237 post #9461
