| “ | How long was I gone? In Earth years? About a century. Long enough for the last of the mouth-breathers to die off. Then... the Third Kingdom is lost... – War and The Watcher, cutscene when entering The Crossroads | ” |
Earth, also known as the Third Kingdom was one of the Three Kingdoms and home to the Human race.
Overview
Earth's Destroyed City is also the main setting of Darksiders. Amazingly enough, Earth was the homeworld for the Human race and was at the apex of its modern age when the Apocalypse was prematurely started by War. Humanity, originally given the freedom to evolve independently of the unceasing combat between Heaven and Hell could not stop the sudden onslaught of their supernatural brethren and was swiftly annihilated. It is implied on several occasions that Human race was not prepared for the End War. Have it broke loose later it might have been possible for the humans to have standing chance of survival. As stated by The Watcher, humanity as it was once know is long gone. All that remains of it are the dreaded Undead and Wicked that prowl the skeleton of its once-great-civilization which dots its blasted and ash laden surface.

- It has been confirmed that in Darksiders II, Archon, the leader of Angelic forces in the crystal spire will send death to earth to aid Uriel and the hellgaurd defeat the demons
