Wild Seas

"When man meddles with the divine no matter who wins everyone pays the consequences. Some are short, some like this, last an age."

Eckhart

A Wild Age

As the Age of Empires ended the seas changed, wild energies, violent chaotic storms, and malevolent elementals reigned across the world. Not only interfering with traditional sea travel but eventually interfering with arcane methods of transport as well. It became the defining factor of the 3rd age, the Age of Isolation.

Catalyst

As the Sira’Kahn's lust for power and domination grew, Que’h Lain, The Torturer set his sights on remaking Eglorix. He devised the ritual Shivanna Coump’le or Consuming the Divine and set his sights on the then God of Magic, Tavos, God of the Storm. When the ritual was complete, Tavos was no more, and his power over the storms and magic was lost. There was no control and divine energies remained unclaimed upon the seas, creating powerful chaotic elementals that raged over the seas and oceans of Eglorix.

A New Age

As time passed these elementals grew in power and control. The seas became their world and in their power, strange monsters and phenomena made the seas impassable by all and even living near them dangerous and often deadly. In a series of events attributed to a group of heroes from Brom, Tavos returned and reclaimed his power over the storms and the skies above the seas. The era of constant chaotic seas was over and so was the Age of Isolation. Though the seas of Eglorix have been reclaimed and the Oceans are open again, the Wild Seas will occasionally reappear and the monsters still plague some of the uncharted areas of the open seas.
