The Upheaval

The Upheaval is the name given to an event at the end of the Second Age of Gilthanon. At the end of this age, tectonic shifts along the fault lines north and south of Zuldar pulled apart, swallowing the city whole. As the plates shifted away, they created the Giant's Beard and Thellinvain Mountains.

The Upheaval also refers to the events in the Gilthanon during this time line. Due to the loss of the capitol city, the nation was tossed into a dark ages of sort, losing its leadership overnight. This brought in not only the third age, but the lost era before it. Wars within the nation split the once united army into two factions, breaking ties between the cities and even inciting bloody and horrific battles and mutinies. The damage done during this age of lawlessness will never be recovered, and due to it, almost an entire age of history and wealth is lost to the nation, and therefore the world.
