Giving Relics and Orders More Prominence Later on

This is an idea that may be applicable in the future.

Over time I would like relics and orders to have more meaning.

I am imagining a situation where an order or alignment (light or dark) gather enough relics that they trigger an event. On top of incentivizing relic wars I think it could give an ability to do a soft reset on the world state if a group is becoming too powerful and discouraging other groups from participating. The threshold can be pretty high so this is not a regular occurrence. If the balance isn't quite figured out there can also be a timer that after 6 months - 1 year of no event like this there's a small chance it can happen randomly.

When relic event is triggered:

• the orders are temporarily allied to light or dark while a 'cataclysm' occurs (8v8)
• all wonders become targets and must be defended in a tower defence style
• all players can send armies against wonders but world bosses/npcs will also attack wonders in waves
• timed event
• the regular game keeps going so your realm must still be upkept and defended from attacks

Potential results of event:

• at end of the cataclysm all relics are reset
• winning team is rewarded with NFTs, $lords, leaderboard spot and a trophy/status that is displayed prominently on the Atlas, Discord, Twitter - everywhere possible to make it a very desirable status
• individual rewards/NFTs/trophies in certain categories: realm that struck the most final blows on a wonder, realm that did the most damage, realm that provided the most soldiers for defence
• a (chat gpt?) scroll of events is released of the war/cataclysm matched with a (midjourney) piece of art that is auctioned off at the end

I see Bastions achieves this for the most part.
