Great Starfall

The Great Starfall is an event where the Old World was destroyed by an impact. The result was an impact crater at Star's Hollow, Asgrobar. This event shifted the entire geography, politics and culture of Xandorra. This occurred two hundred years ago.

Geography
The realm, once a single continent, broke up into the five regions. Many major landmarks were destroyed, such as the volcano of Caldyra Bay, the Old World Ruins, the Sunken Isles, and the mountain range that separates Asgrobar and Druador. Both Estriya and Timile used to be part of the main landmass, but split and became islands.

Prior to this event, Asgrobar was a lush region with plenty of foliage. Now it's all desert, and gets little rainfall. The main source of water in this region is in Star's Hollow, which slowly filled with rainfall and mountain runoff over the years since the impact.

Politics
Following this event, the clans began battling for dominance over the territory. The Old World didn't have formal politics the way Xandorra does now. The land was divided based on territory that was fought over and claimed by certain bloodlines. For example, much of Estriya was claimed by the Anvesk family. This shifted during the rebuilding of culture following the Great Starfall.

Much of the politics was built around the religion of the Great Star. After many years of fighting, four of the five regions united under the rule of the Xandor. The only region that does not subscribe to these politics is the Sunken Isles.

The final event that unified the four regions is known as the Anvesk Massacre. The only living survivor from this event is Alvanna Anvesk.
