## Legends

### The Legend of the Dividing Sea

5000BH - The continent was guarded by a number of powerful beings. These beings drew their power from magical items crafted by Moradin himself, each one imbued with an element of alchemy. These beings were raised and trained by the elemental of time. However, they began to plot against each other for each element had one weakness and one strength. They soon fractured into two groups fighting for control over Santhal. Enraged by this, the Earth Elemental, who had remained neutral for none of of his siblings dared to go against the behemoth of the earth, demanded that their master, the elemental of time end the fighting. He refused saying that he had faith that the fighting would stop before anyone was killed.

Unwilling to do nothing the Earth Elemental raised a platform off the east coast of Santhal and began to cut the land into pieces where each elemental could rule. When his brothers and sisters realised what he was doing they rushed to stop him. In desperation, the elemental of death threw her sword at him, sending him to the void. His work unfinished, and the elementals broken from the loss of their brother, they all retreated into the depths of the earth to hide from their shame. All that remains of those times is the scar the earth elemental left, the dividing sea.

### The One Man Army

In the ancient burial halls of the Ironblood Kingdom, the murals and tapestries describe a battle that took place between the dwarves and the sun elves. They went to war over the northern tip of the Slatetooth Mountains seeking to claim it before the humans reached it. As they usually did the dwarves began to build Large Fortresses throughout the mountain and secure their positions. The elves, decided to lets them, knowing that the dwarves would lose many supply wagons to the orc hordes that roamed the mountains.

As the dwarves built deeper and deeper, they awoke something in the dark. Most pictures of this creature show it to be the size of a goliath, covered in black fur and bathing in the blood of it's victims. It wrecked havoc through the fortresses of the dwarves, it's claws able to cut through anything but the thickest of stone walls. When the elves finally marched on the dwarvern fortresses, they found "get out "clawed and painted in blood on the walls written in abyssal and celestial. Arrogantly, the elf commander, the current sun elf king sent his men inside anyway. They reached the central halls before the beast appeared. He exploded through the floor form a lower chamber and began to rip through the ranks of the elves. No arrow could pierce his skin and only the most experienced swordsman lasted long than a second against him. The battle came to a climax when the commander clashed with the beast one on one. The minute long duel was a testament to the skill of the elves but he was eventually overpowered. On his back, the young elf looked up, ready to join Sae'ran in the feywilds, but death never came. Instead the beast stepped back and roared. "Out! Out of her Tomb, fey are not welcome here! None are welcome here!"
