Coastal Wars

With new beginnings, new agricultural practices, and a new slave trade, the Elodian rule was exploding across the land. Towards the edge of Leushlan by the sea, the people of the then prosperous Sunrise Gulf and some surrounding villages had not yet been coerced into officially joining under this common ruler. They were determined not to; the aggression of the goblin and tiefling trade was something they wanted no part of.

The people here had fewer people, fewer resources, weaker armor. They saw little hope in successfully surviving without submitting. They ran to their oracle to see if there would be any answers. They were told: "War is Chaos. During these times we must look towards the sea and let it guide us."

Their village elders pulled everyone inland towards the border of their lands. Arcane and mundane alike were expected to help in this endeavor. All were instructed to dig a trench along the entire border, shoreline to shoreline. People were fearful and confused, but they were trusting as well. They all worked hard, digging deeper and deeper into the trench.

They dug and excavated until the elders were satisfied. The villagers then all climbed down into the trench, and unified, they pushed with everything they had. Water began to explode into the trench and flushed the people high enough to swim back to shore.

By the time the Elodians had arrived to issue a formal demand, Sunrise Gulf was already split away from the rest of the earth. This is the first and only known instance of the humanoids of Broken Earth being the ones to shift the global landscape in such a dramatic way. This area remains a series of islands outside of Elodian rule.
