The Flood

== Overview ==
The Flood was an event in prehistory that annihilated large parts of the population of The Continent. It was unknown precisely how many deaths occurred, and scholars noted that there are final reports of waters still reseeding from 1000-500 BG.
== The Borrows ==
Before The Drowning occured the Borrows was a great forest with a valley to the east. House Root ruled the Borrows from Great Oak, a castle at the base of a massive oak tree. Other notable houses were House Lunar who lived in High Stone on the northern side of the valley and House Stur who lived in the centre of the valley and had control over one of the most important rivers leading out of the forest.
When the drowning hit thousands were killed instantly. The entire valley was flooded with only the northern and southern hills remaining above water. Great Oak was completely destroyed, however the King of the Borrows at the time managed to escape north, leaving most of his followers to die. House Stur was completely destroyed by the flood and was never heard of again. A lot of the survivors of the catastrophy flocked towards the northern or southern hills. House Lunar remained safe and sound on the northern hills and took in as many survivors as they could. With House Root having disappeared and thought dead, House Lunar claimed themselves the new Kings of the Borrows.
A group of survivors settled on the southern hills. One of their first accomplishments was to construct a tower of light to signal to everyone lost in the drowned valley that this was a place of safety. This tower would later be called Last Light and was still lit as of 301 AG. House Bayron claimed decent of these survivors, claiming that they have left the light lit for generations.
The southern group of survivors eventually made an alliance with House Lunar, making House Lunar the official Kings of The Borrows. They ruled The Borrows for around another 800 years before House Root was able to reclaim the position. House Root eventually rebuilt their castle, this time higher up in the tree, naming it High Oak.
