Era 2: The First Light Cataclysm
A worldwide cataclysmic event occurred. An unknown extraterrestrial / hyper-dimensional mineral named Radianite erupted across the globe, introducing clean energy and granting anomalous abilities to select humans known as Radiants.

Era 4: The Mirror Earth Conflict (Omega Earth & Legion)
The VALORANT Protocol discovers that Earth is under attack not by aliens, but by an alternate universe duplicate: Omega Earth. Omega's Radianite reserves have collapsed, driving their counterpart agents (VALORANT Legion) to steal Alpha Earth's Radianite using Spike teleportation devices.
Era 5: The Secret Order of the Hourglass & Landfall
Deep-cover investigations reveal that ancient underground syndicates known as the Hourglass and secret weapon programs like Project Landfall have been manipulating both Alpha and Omega Earths behind the scenes.
