Apocalyptic Events
Apocalyptic events are cataclysmic occurrences that alter life as we know it or end it completely. Fictional apocalyptic events are featured heavily in narratives, where bands of heroes must keep them from proceeding. They are also a central element of post-apocalyptic worlds, where survivors must learn to cope with the aftermath.
