The Sundering

The Sundering was the final event that ended the Great War. The war had now been dragging on for over a decade. The younger races, those not of the Draconic race, had been successful in carving out a section of the great continent but neither side has been able to make a substantial enough dent in the others forces to change the tide of battle. The wise sorcerer, Eras Abimeur, soon came to realize that there would be no end to this conflict until one side had completely eradicated the other. He devised a plan to once and finally bring the bloodshed to a close. Working with the Volnier, Eras was able to craft a box that he filled with immense magical energy to be used as a final ultimatum against the two warring factions. Bringing their leaders together Eras gave them this choice, come to peace or he would use the Enigma Box to bring destruction upon both nations and end the war for them. When the dragons and younger races turned on him, he was forced to go through with his plan, detonating the Enigma Box. The explosion swept over the armies trapping them in a pocket plane where they continually repeat their heated battle indefinitely. Though Eras had successfully ended the Great War, the result of the explosion had shattered the Great Continent into three smaller landmasses, Gethlis, Rell and Thordin. Peace finally came to Iraelon once again as the United Draconic Empire fled to Thordin, the younger races took up residence on Gelthis, and the Volnier isolated themselves on Rell. The act of such destruction weighed heavily on Eras Abimeur and he faded into history.
