This has always been on my mind. Did the dark sea always existed during the events of Arcane Adventure? Or was it created from Durza’s second attack ‘Wrath of the Gods’? Or did the dark sea always existed but it was made worse by his second attack? Also is there a second epicenter? It’s been stated that his second use of the cataclysmic spell sent large chunks of the earth into space. So wouldn’t that mean there is another large and even WORSE crater somewhere in the dark sea?
yes
no
it’s not stated but is possible
no the wrath of the gods attack just left a huge crater
in the wom timeline this got filled in with magius
The dark sea was created when Theos and Durza fought each other for the second time but due to Theos was winning, Durza use all his curses and magic he had at the time which created a very large blast and Theos dodged and it hit a mountaineer which caused a explosion and created the dark sea
But since WoM timeline has been retconned (sadly). What happened to the crater? Is it still around or did it just get filled up with water and is completely outside of anyone’s knowledge?
crater’s still around and the seven (now five) seas are still reeling from the attack
So that means there are two epicenters. Do you think that crater is going to be an explorable location? Also does anyone in Arcane universe know about it?
no the epicenter is in the middle of the dark sea the seven seas epicenter is just a hole in the ground
And I assume the Seven Seas epicenter is underwater?
yeah prolly
The Epicenter is in my basement 
the second crater durza made that caused the wrath of the gods wouldnt be as bad because durza was weaker at that point

The Dark Sea existed since AA and far before (but it wasn’t in the game because limitations of roblox engine and vetex coding skills at the time)
The Wrath of the Gods didn’t cause as much chaos as the Fracture (1st big blast), although it did destroy the 6th, 4th and like 3th seas, i’m not too sure but it was around 4 seas, then Chaos came and destroyed the others that were left.
Also in regard of that supposed 2nd epicenter, no.
the dark sea is the result of after theos and durza had fought, durza conjured all of his curses to annihilate theos but it missed ultimately fucking the entire world by wiping out 80% of the population and splitting the survivors into 5 sea clusters, these being The Old Seas, The Seven Seas, The War Seas, The Dragon Sea Cluster and an unnamed sea cluster. which are all seperated by the dark sea which WAS created by durzas attack to try to kill theos.
the “Wrath of the Gods” is just a result of some super drugged magic energy guy exploding in a magic polluted world. (durza) so no, there isnt a second Epicenter.
How come the Wrath of the Gods was less destructive, despite it causing large chunks of the earth to be launched into space and attracting an eldritch abomination?
Because it didn’t affect the entire world at the same scale.
The Fracture caused:
- The destruction of the continents, separating them into islands
- The formation of the Dark Sea
- Death of like 90% of humanity
Wrath of the Gods caused
- Destruction of the fourth, fifth and seventh seas (in the Seven Seas)
- Brought back Chaos who destroyed the remaining seven seas.
- Caused earthquakes and tsunamis over the world.
The destruction of the wrath of the gods was mostly in the cluster while the Fracture was across the world, with its effects still affecting the status nowadays (ex. dark sea or the simple fact of being separated by islands)
Also, the Wrath of the Gods was caused by a weaker explosion than the fracture. Acheron was at its peak when he threw his super charged magic blast that contained every curse and magic he had obtain at the moment, which for curses is at least 5 to 7, and probably 20 magics. With such attack, he lost most of his curses and magics after doing it.
the dragon sea cluster??
While people have already brought up Acheron being weaker as a contributing factor, I’d like to say that reason still doesn’t fully explain why it only blew up half of the Seven Seas. Especially since Vetex specifically said Acheron was not much weaker than when he caused the Fracture:
So is there some weird threshold of power for causing a Fracture event? Why was a prime Acheron able to essentially rearrange the entire surface of the Earth but a slightly-weaker-than-prime Acheron was only able to destroy what amounts to half a sea cluster (equivalent to half an IRL continent)? At the very least the entire Seven Seas should’ve been wiped out, if not half of the planet considering Acheron was still at a similar level of power.
I personally headcanon that the PK contained most of the explosion, which is what prevented it from being on another full on Fracture. After all, Theos told them the story of how Acheron was willing to hypernuke the planet if it meant surviving, so they should’ve known that was a likely possibility.
I mean there could still be other explanations like Acheron having a more destructive combo of Curses for the Fracture or something, but I feel that the PK learning from Theos’ mistake of not doing anything to intercept/prevent Acheron’s Fracture blast is more narratively satisfying.
As for why Chaos didn’t wipe out the Seven Seas after, that’s just straight up plot armor for the Seveners considering it did that to the Old Seas lol
It could be that he was actually weakened from battle the second time whereas he was just injured the first time and not actually weakened.
If the fight with the peacekeeper was more drawn out than the one with theos, then he could have grown weaker over the course of the battle and not managed to perform as powerful of a final attack.
It also could have been the nature of the attack being different. Maybe the second time around he learned from his mistake and chose a more concentrated attack that would do more damage to anything within the blast but the effects on the world wouldn’t be as powerful. He may have tried to do something a little different because the first time he did an attack that powerful it failed to kill the one person he was trying to kill, it would be very embarrassing if it happened again (It did in fact happen again)
Im kinda stupid but i feel like you named the thing called Fracture, what is Fracture tho?
All good points, forgot that the PK beating Acheron into a more drained state than his Fracture state was an option, his war against Arthur and the One Shot Pirates could’ve also worn him down some
The Fracture is the name of the big attack Acheron did that destroyed the world:
