The black tide and its creations are the direct cause of Amphoreus' near destruction.
The black tide is a phenomenon on Amphoreus.
Overview[]
The black tide is a destructive corrupting force that not even the Titans can control. Those who are exposed to the Black Tide become corrupted and turned mad as a result.[1] They lose all sense of themselves and their memories and only seek to spread the tide across the entire planet.
The black tide appears in several forms: patches of affected ground that can only be removed by a nearby Titan mark, as part of corruption on rewindable items (thus preventing them from being fully rewound unless Oronyx's blessing is enhanced), and as monsters:
Tide-Eroded Blade
Black Tide's Corroded Axe- Black Tide Council
- Black Tide's Decrepit Bow
- Black Tide's Corroded Daemon
- Black Tide's Champion
- Dark Sun Gryphon
- Decimator, Karma of Daythunder, Eye of Twilight[2][Note 1]
History[]
The black tide first dropped back in Era Bellica alongside the Three Titans of Calamity, where it destroyed multiple city-states and drove many of the Titans mad.[3] This lead to Tribios taking Janus' Coreflame to become the first demigod, and lead Amphoreus into victory.[4]
Afterwards, she split into a thousand messengers to spread the divine prophecy across the land of Amphoreus.[5] Later on, Empress Cerydra united the Chrysos Heirs, with the task to kill the corrupted Titans and take their Coreflames to save Amphoreus.[6][7]
