Sundering of Thule

A catastrophic event in Gaea's history occurring roughly three thousand years prior to the current date, the Sundering of Thule devastated large swathes of territory along the Atlantican and Cimmerian Oceans through triggered vulcanism, earthquakes, tidal waves, and powerful storms. It is best known, however, for beginning the process of the sinking of Atlantis and for shattering the continent of Thule, now referred to as Ultima Thule, into three distinct subcontinents and submerging one of the trio beneath the newly-made Wandering Sea. A product of the Everwar, and specifically the struggle between Atlantis's civilization and the Overlord known as the Unnamed One, this artificial disaster is held up by many as proof of the horrors that Monsters can unleash upon Man and is used as a motivating factor in more conservative communities to drive Man-on-Monster violence out of fear. The social, geological, ecological, and magical fallout of this event continue to be felt to this day.
