History
When the Gods made their escape from within the crystals, the flow of elemental energy throughout the world, was altered and distorted. In addition to releasing vast amounts of previously unavailable energy, the environment was severely disrupted. Weather patterns became very unpredictable for a short time, but when the age of storms passed, one concentrated area of the sea still remained turbulent. Eventually, this turbulence turned in to an enormous whirlpool, interrupting any travel through the area.
Like the stormy time before it, the whirlpool eventually began to relent. As the the storms subsided and the fog cleared, an entirely new land now lied in the open, waiting to be explored. So, for a few generations, many people visited the new island continent. Some called it "Gaea's Land" or "the Holy Gardens" .. others just referred to it rather vaguely as "the Island".
One day, a storm suddenly encased the area, appearing just as severe as its predecessors. The few settlements that had developed were destroyed, but most of the people and animals managed to survive. Though the storms did not remain as constant as they had before, they now seemed to occur with great swiftness. To make matters worse, the sea now seemed to swirl rapidly around the continent, making travel difficult once again.
After a few generations, enough people had been born there to facilitate the first native cultures. The sea (and often the skies) had remained so frequently stormy, that self-sufficiency became a priority for everyone. Over time, technological and magical advances would bring regular travel back to the continent, which then quickly became a staple to the trade industry, for its neutral political ambitions, geographically central location and diverse populous.
A capital city was founded on the site of the first trading post and on that same day, the continent was officially dubbed "Argaes"
