Erawit Coral Beds

The Erawit Coral Beds are a several decades old formation of coral that arose after the sea dispersed off of the island that contained the formerly lost town of Erawit.
In 436, a storm began that some say was the work of the chaos god, Clohdus. This lasted for nearly a year and caused the entire island to be swallowed by the sea. The settlement was destroyed and the inhabitants fled to the mainland. Several centuries later, around the year 1000, the sea receded and revealed the island once again.
However, when the island saw air for the first time in just under seven hundred years, it was very much changed from what it had once been. Instead of flat plains and sand, coral now covered nearly the entire surface. Instead of dying once the sea completely disappeared, it thrived and grew, creating large statue-like projections and vast spaces of flat land. 
Most of the coral was a pale blue color and twisted around itself. Other areas showed purple, yellow, and green coloration. A few locations contained red hues that often turned to pink or returned to purple. The highest projection was six stories tall and appeared like a large shell with a shape similar to a tree sticking out of the top. This was called the Wax Spire, because of its pale yellow color rather than being actually made of wax.
Some of the descendants of the original villagers returned and, for a time, tried to carve into the coral to create new homes. Their efforts were mostly unsuccessful and they settled on the portion of the island that had not been taken over by coral. Others began to visit in order to see the Beds, finding them incredibly beautiful and curious. The island has now become a hotbed of tourist activity rather than the merchant outpost it once was.
