Crumbling of Morkith's Road

The Crumbling of Morkith's Road marked the beginning of our Broken Earth. Before this event, the world existed as a single land mass surrounded by a massive ocean. This was the first land to crack away from the rest.

Each of the gods is tied to a physical land where their influence is the strongest. Morkith's power lied in Tserre, a land between Ebbensile and Leushlan. Most of the gods, excluding Morkith himself and Engor, just due to his apathy, agreed that they needed to limit Morkith's power by splitting his land away from the rest of the pangaea.

The seven of them worked together to all corner Morkith in Tserre before splitting the land on all sides and severing it, making the first Break in the land. The massive road leading towards Tserre shattered, and much of it was lost to the elements or the fae creatures of Tserre. Morkith is still able to call to the people of the world, trying to win their favor and encouraging them to follow where his road used to lie. It is thankfully nothing near the strength Morkith called to us prior to his land being ripped away.

Perhaps it was inevitable, given the disjointed history of our planet's creation. Whatever the reason, this visible evidence of the god's continued distancing from each other continued to shift the landscape throughout our history.
