It is said that when the great frost came in 5 AF and covered the Grey Flats in a blanket of snow and turned the Cold Sea into a sheet of solid ice, it was the Goddess of the Sea, Lady Saljen, preparing for war against Lord Baelzeph, the God of Fire. When the frost subsided and the Cold Sea began to flow once again, the only evidence left of the terrible event was a strip of ice connecting the two great continents created by the fracturing.
