The Greater & Lesser Embankments Are Constructed

Construction beginning/end

Begun in 12 AM, it took decades of manual labor and engineering to construct the Greater and Lesser Embankments. The Greater runs along the northern, and the Lesser along the southern, shore of Nyara's River and are both the main east-west road, as well as a defensive measure against the overflowing tide. These altered much of the marshy environment, and were aimed at both draining the water-logged, peat lowlands, destroying the innumerable tributary streams, and most importantly ridding the tidal zone of mosquitoes.
