Years of Serpents

The Years of Serpents is a famous era in the history of Svargrond. At some point in time a researcher lured Sea Serpents to the seas around the northern Ice Islands in order to get rid of Carliners disturbing his studies, as mentioned in this book. He was successful, as ships from Carlin could not safely reach Svargrond anymore. For this reason many Carlin miners active in the Formorgar Mines abandoned their work and left. After some decades, however, the Sea Serpents disappeared again, which finally brought an end to the frightful Years of Serpents and restored accessibilty to Svargrond. The reason for their sudden disappearance remains a mystery. Jessica thinks it was the work of Venore. Romir thinks magic was involved. Hawkyr thinks the serpents were driven away by a bigger hunter, whatever that may be. Hjaern think an artificial influence must be the reason.
There are several books which speak of the serpents as well as the trouble they often caused during this era:
