First Sundering

The First Sundering (sometimes simply the Sundering) or Ever'Sakkatien (as called by the Tel-quessir) was a High Magic ritual cast by the greatest elven high mages of the Tel-quessir during the period of the First Flowering, around −17,600 DR. The ritual resulted in the creation of the isle of Evermeet meet, but also resulted in widespread disaster that destroyed or altered much of Faerûn and might even be the cause of much of the non-uniformity of The Weave throughout the continent.
Ever'Sakkatien was somehow connected to the later Second Sundering, an event that took place in the 1480s DR, and with The Tearfall, which took place in −31,000 DR.
