The Babel Project

The Babel Project was one of the first attempts at destroying the Comet. Developed by the Dark Elves, it aimed at reversing the Comet's trajectory, sending it back to the 13th hour.

The only thing Orkfiologists know about this project comes from ancient scriptures the Elves left behind. It appears the Elves split up once the Comet's radiation affected their immortality. Those that became mortal declared themselves independent from the immortal High Elves. In an attempt to stop the Comet from harming their people any further, they devised a daring strategy to thwart the Comet. The Babel Cannon combined strong Magic with the neutralizing effects of the Calvin Barrier's force. The resulting pulse propelled itself at lightning speed and collided with the Comet, causing a shockwave that engulfed the entire Universe in mutating radiation. This is assumed to be the cause of Orkfia's wide variety of races.

The Comet itself was merely thrown off its path, and did not at all reverse course. The High Elves would finally provide the 'final' solution by casting the Time spell. The Babel Project, because it was such a monumental failure, eventually triggered the great Elven war, which seperated the Elven race into three factions: the Dark Elves, the Wood Elves and the High Elves.
