Earthshattering

The Earthshattering was a cataclysmic event over a thousand years ago that decimated the Catho Empire and left the Broken Coast forever changed and geographically isolated with its society in shambles. Its effects were felt as tremors and shifts in the arcane energies throughout Alatheia. Nobody knows for sure what caused the massive earthquake that tore through the Catho Empire and the coast, but scholars believe that at the source was an outburst of magical energies on a scale unheard of before.
