The Great Divide

The Great Divide was a geological event that occurred in Agara, marking the end of the Age of Dawning, and the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment. The event appeared to be a massive, world-shaking earthquake that split the continents of Erseval and Svriun apart, tearing apart the continent that was once "Agara", before the name was adopted by the world as a whole.

Cause
The true cause of The Great Divide is of much debate, as different cultures have different beliefs as to what the cause was. Some societies believe that it was to separate the races on either side, though this theory is usually discarded due to the fact that both continents were populated by both Men and Mer at the time.
