The Axe was split... in that moment, the very land itself, tethered to the Pall-Bearer, was split along with it.
- One of the many lines bards have used to describe the horrors of the Cataclysm of Razdelin.
The Cataclysm is a mythic event that took place 300 years ago in the former united nation of
Razdelin when the former Queen Pallinee died, her daughters awaited their inheritance ceremony to determine who would become the queen of Razdelin. However, in an event still talked about centuries later, the Pall-bearer axe did not manifest for either of them as expected but, rather, it split in two and, with it, Razdelin was struck by an earthquake of divine proportions.
The land was split in two and forcefully driven away from one another. The earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis that caused this schism resulted in thousands of Razdelin's dying as towns were destroyed and
The Etcher's Guild was destroyed in the process as the seat in the centre of the land was sunk into the ocean below.
This event is a permanent scar in the history of Razdelin and is an event that caused significant psychological strain on the Izim sisters. The nation has been rebuilding ever since.
