The 6 Continents

The 6 continents came to be after The Divide was destroyed by Burros in 303 AC, previously the world was considered to possess 5 continents. The effected continent was the Mainlands continents which was originally joined together by the Western Pillar and Eastern Pillar. But eventually disappeared under the high western seas.

When Burros came to the Mainlands in 303 AC he came with the intention of destroying the super-structure The Divide, this dam held back the high western seas which would easily flood and demolish the central lands of the Mainlands continent. Burros managed to succeed in doing so when fighting King Robert Spyre and his allies Broden Dyser and Felicia Nehar who fought to defend The Divide.

As a result the dam was destroyed by Burros' catapults that launched dragon powder rocks at The Divide. These rocks are one of the most effective weapons in destroying fortified defences. Burros allowed his army to flee once the dam started to fall, but Burros stayed and was killed by the oncoming western seas that came.

As a result, the kings, queens and scholars of the world decided that due to the sheer distances now present between the northern side of the mainlands and the southern side, they would brandish each side as a different continent, naming the northern part The Old North and the southern side keeping it's name as The Mainlands. This decision was made in 304 AC, the same year that The War for the New World began.
