The Longsword of Light

The strongest swordsman in the world has cut through the planet, creating a canyon that stretches across the continents.

---

When the person known as Swordmaster swung his sword, the planet Ferdlan was temporarily split in two. Due to gravitational pull, the halves merged, but a scar remained on the planet as the World Canyon. 

Some of the Gods, namely Meral, Howith and Oural, tried to intervene, but Ev and Kilion stopped them, reminding them of what the divine power had done when the Mistake had last occurred. As a result, the damage was minimized to major earthquakes happening across the world in the coming decades.

Because the Swordmaster's technique directly cut through space, many Folds were created, mainly around the canyon, but also in other parts of the world. Some researchers suspect that the canyon itself is a giant Fold, surpassing in size Chur Noorox. This theory is supported by the still unknown depth of the canyon, as well as the strange behaviour of the ocean water. However, since no spatial distortions have been confirmed and the magic community as a whole does not believe in such large Folds, Chur Noorox still remains in its official position.
