With the famines of the year before there are many small, and not so small, skirmishes over food supplies across Taina. A lot of the outlying villages seem to weather these better then those nearer the bigger cities. Thousands die and even the mages lock themselves up in their school as to avoid taking sides on any conflict, since they don't want to use their power for evil.

Year 99 AC
This year is marked by mages and priests losing their abilities to use magical abilities for almost the entire year. There are theories that the Gods are upset about something mortals have done, others think a magical dead zone happened because of Gods fighting, others still think it is for the best so no one has more power then others. The Year of Dead Magic is marked by many deaths that could have been saved by magic and an attack on the monastery, because they don't have the protections of magic.
