Geological / environmental event
After the founding of The Cities of Mercy and Wrath, a decision was made to create a truly massive farmland south of the plateau with the intent of making a national breadbasket fit to feed all of Ostelliach (with distribution planned to filter through the new cities, of course). The first crops were to be wheat and a hearty local tuber used for spirits, medical unctions, and winter rations. The first tilling and plantings of these fields coincided with the creation of the dual cities of Sun and Silo that were to serve as national warehouses for the stock before distribution.
