Editing Kazak's Follies (section)

===The Shattering===
As they emerged from the tomb, the ground suddenly lurched in a massive earthquake, far more powerful than any they'd felt on their trip. The roaring sounds of crashing rock echoed all around them, and they ran out into the open field away from another that could fall and watched massive fissures crack open in the ground. When it finally ended, though, they were soon presented with a new problem: a massive flood of water racing in from the distance. Taking shelter in the still-intact ruins, they rode out the flood as the land was inundated with sea water.

The next morning, they discovered that the land around the tomb was now an island in the middle of a vast sea that was once the middle of Orodeth. It was only when they teleported to [[Northeron]] that they learned the full scale of the disaster; the entire central portion of Orodeth had crumbled away in the earthquake, with the ocean flooding in from both sides. Northeron had survived only by being build high up in the cliffs; Drakkengarde was completely destroyed. Flynn surmised that this was the work of the elemental cults his sister had dealt with, and sent a message to the Brightstone Heroes, for whom he had done some previous adventuring work. The lich [[Leardon Sunflare]] responded by arriving in Northeron and formally hiring them to find out what happened and deal with the cultists.

Using the wind walk spell, they flew south and surveyed the destruction for themselves; from the former Belsimar Strait on westwards, as far as they could sea, virtually everything was now underwater, save for a few small islands of land that still remained. Following rough directions provided by Leardon's divination magic, they eventually arrived at a newly-formed tunnel leading underground, still dry despite going below the waterline. Following the tunnel, they eventually found themselves in the ruins of the dwarven city of [[Belsimar]]. According to Flynn's sister, it was here that the elemental cults had made their stronghold, and in the caverns below where they would find the answers they sought.
