Discovery, ExplorationOn this day in 439AIF, the crew of the Seacrake, whose ship had been swept from the safe shipping routes of the Sea of Gormallis to the stormy coasts of the island continent of Zastral discovered that, contrary to popular belief, the wrath of Polephemon had not completely and utterly destroyed the landmass. In so doing, they became the first people to set foot on the Continent of Zastral since the creation of the Desolation of Polephemon. It would take many months for the survivors to repair their ship and make good their escape in a large enough weather break, so that their discovery could be shared with the rest of the Empire of Turelion and from thence the rest of the world.
