Chronology
500 BC Audun Beck, captain of the Illsong, discovers a magic gem while looting a wizard's tower. It transforms him into a sea vampire. After the healer in his village fail to restore him to life, he massacres everyone and burns the village to the ground. The Mists abduct him and his ship, taking them to the Sea of Sorrows.[15]- 630 BC The Sea of Sorrows forms.[16]
- 635 BC[16] In a brutal winter, Meredoth poisons his subjects and reanimates them as lebendtod to keep them from bothering him for help. His island (or a version of his island) is taken to an unfamiliar land.[17] The domain of Nebligtode forms as a number of islands[18] in the Sea of Sorrows.[19] After spending some time exploring, Meredoth kills and reanimates the Graben Family.[20]
651 BC Carcharodon Isle appears in the Sea of Sorrows.[21]
