The Calamity

A cataclysmic arcane event that sundered the world outside the Seam. The magical energy emitted came suddenly and without warning. It destroyed large swathes of land and the entire peoples of two continents. It took over 600 years for the world to recover, and even then, the land of the two affected continents was never the same again.

It is still unclear what precisely caused the Calamity.
