The Legend of the Jagged Craig>a common story as told around campfires

Once the land of the The Northern Rim Kingdoms and the main lands of Eltharia were separated by a single mountain range part of theDuendar Mountains. In the middle of what is now the Bay, the kingdom of Verlita was a prosperous land where many magical scrolls and tomes where made and created. But as the kingdom became more renowned so did the arrogance of the chancellors.
The emerging major power at the time was the Claiston Empire. They had started work on conquering most of Eltharia under one banner with the threat of war. With the Empire working its way towards Verlita, the ambassadors from the Empire were ignored and scoffed at.
“Verlita is a kingdom on its own. The Empire cannot hope to overtake us. We are an older established kingdom, while your so called Empire is a child taking its first steps.”
The ambassadors left but returned with an army.
“Surrender to the Empire and become part of the mighty Claiston Empire!”
The chancellors on their walls of stone and ivory declined the terms. So began the Siege of Verlita. The Siege lasted for 10 years. When the food began to run out and it looked like they might be able to breach the walls, Verlita released its darkest and oldest spell.
The spell they had in their possession that was not to be used ever even world ending proportions… The hubris of the chancellors released the spell from their deepest, fortified vault. When they cast the spell, they cast forth their doom. It was a summoning spell of the avatar of the God Kellarix, god of malignant destruction and death.
"Who do you think you are to have summoned me?! I am the avatar of the God Kellarix himself!" sneering he continued, "Insects such as you don't deserve to even look towards me."
The chancellors fell to their knees to beg the avatar to assist them, but Kellarix is not a kind god. He is a god of malignant destruction and death. He enjoys nothing more for the world to burn and fall to pieces with no one left on all of Eltharia. With a contemtous sneer, the avatar of Kellarix killed all of the people of Verlita out that very night.
As the next day dawned, the Claiston Empire was very surprised to see the doors open and a figure casually saunter out. As he came closer to the line of the soldiers of the Empire, they could see that he was covered in blood. In his hand, the head of one of the highest ranking chancellor's frozen in a rictus of terror and pain.
The almost demonic form of the Avatar grinned, shouting to the entire army, "This is what they wanted to summon me to defeat? hah aha weak puny insignificant fools! Is anyone brave enough to fight me or shall you just go whimpering to the end??" He grinned showing his bloody teeth, spreading his arms in open confidence.
But the hearts of the men of the Empire quailed in fear and they shrank back unable to gather the courage to fight. All except one, the rising general of the army named Groth Smithvidr.
"Aye, I'll challenge ye. Clear the way for the beating this beast is about to receive."
As the soldiers moved out of the way, the Avatar did so as well. The two clashed in an epic battle! The Avatar struck first with his mighty curved scimitar, but luckily Groth was ready for him and blocked it with his great battle axe. Back and forth the blows fell. As the blows continued to fall, the ones that were avoided or side stepped began to create massive rumbles under ground with each indention of each strike. Eventually, the rumbling became an earthquake. But the battle continued neither the Avatar of Kellarix nor Groth Smithvidr were going to be the one to give ground.
In the end, the blows in addition to the tremors caused the land to sink to subsquently to be low enough that the Beringmer Sea flooded the once opulent land of Verlita. The Mountain range that grew from the almost cosmic battle were named as the Jagged Craig which went around Bay of Verlita on the border between the sea and the countries of Mimbre, Hesdor , and The Northern Rim Kingdoms. It is said that the Avatar of Kellarix and Groth Smithvidr are still fighting their mythical fight down below. That is what causes the tremors in the Bay of Verlita.
