The Divide

The Divide was a 30 mile long dam located just north of Maverall that kept the Western seas from spilling over into the mainlands until it was destroyed in 303 AC.

Creation
The dam was built 10,000 years ago when the Western seas began to rise and flood much of the Mainland crops and fields, eventually the water reached Maverall and Queen Corellia Spyre ordered that the dam be built to protect the city and the mainlands.

It is said that is took over a 2000 years to build as sea levels continued to rise in the west, meaning multiple times the dam had to be made taller over time. It was the second largest known man-made structure in history after the Ocean Holder Dam.

Fall of The Divide
In the year 303 AC a man named Burros arrived in the mainlands aiming to destroy The Divide. His goal was to allow the Western seas to flood the central lands of the continent, killing hundreds of thousands of people so that resources were freed up and travel between the continents was made easier.

King Robert Spyre was told of this news by Broden Dyser and Felicia Nehar who set out to protect The Divide from being destroyed, however they failed to protect it once Burros' forces stormed Maverall and used catapults armed with dragon powder rock to destroy the dam.
