After the First Calamity, the island once known as Great Britain ceased to exist. In its place now lies a fractured archipelago, hundreds of jagged, scattered islands rising from the restless sea.
Once-proud cities were swallowed by the Earth or cast into ruin by the violent upheaval.

No ordinary structure could withstand the Earthquake that tore the land asunder, an Earthquake so vast and violent that it cracked tectonic plates and reshaped the very map.
It was an event of mythic proportions, a tremor that marked the end of an era.
And yet, amid the desolation, one castle endured.
