243 Gronow Earthquake

The 243 Gronow Earthquake was a natural disaster that struck the eastern portions of the Empire of Kordowyn. The earthquake was felt around noon, and lasted for around 20 to 30 seconds. The disaster left many in and around County Gronow either dead or homeless, as towns and villages in the County, as well as in the neighboring Counties of Beddow and Pendry, collapsed, burned, or flooded. 
Forests and farms in the region burned to the ground, and as such the disaster is expected to affect the Kordynian economy significantly. Rough estimates indicate around 37,000 Kordynians were killed by the disaster across all three Counties. The Ruins of Adonia, which are located in Gronow, were destroyed by the earthquake, and the main vault of the Great Library of Adonia collapsed in on itself, burying the many artifacts still located inside and several archeologists. 
Upon learning of the disaster, the Counts of Pendry, Beddow, and Gronow all returned home from their Council obligation, and Empress Regent Mila sent men to the region to assist in assessing the damage and with cleanup, though with the ongoing war with Gretia few could be spared.
