Tremors
"The Tremors" are a historical event in the history of Haven. Why the Tremors happened is unknown, all that is known now due to extensive research is that The Beastlands and Haven metaphysically collided and bounced off each-other.
On Haven, this event was not quiet or peaceful. With the force so large that it seemed to be the wrath of the gods themselves, major shock-waves spread around the globe causing catastrophic damage to virtually any part of the world. Large portions of current day Gallica were shattered, parts of the continent sinking into the oceans and remaining there to this day. This event was truly apocalyptic for the people at the time, so much so that in the following years pretty much any map in circulation had to be redrawn, regional and global both.
The greatest damage incurred by the event is the sheer amount of infrastructural damage. Most houses collapsed and only the occasional fortress or temple built of solid stone endured, and even then never unscathed. The damage was greatest near the coastlines, both new and old, as tsunamis devestated many coastal communities.
The effects the tremors had on the Beastlands are not well documented, due to the Lizardmen having only an oral tradition of keeping history.
Alongside these more physical events, other 'smaller' events occurred:

Alongside these more physical events, other 'smaller' events occurred:
- Dimensional rifts opened on both planes, leading to a rather violent exchange of populations. It is via these portals that the Lizardmen first crossed over into Haven in significant numbers.
- The Kraken of Haven was first seen after the tremors by survivors in a coastal hamlet. It is unknown wether it too crossed over from the beastland or it was simply awakened from slumber.
- The seal containing the Nightmare King was damaged, and significant amount of dark spirits escaped into the area surrounding the city of Eifera. The seal took decades to repair.
