==The Creation of the Living Islands Year 830==
The merfolk were beginning to grow tired of ships from both nations traveling through their waters, while both nations would deny the existence of said ships. While it was fairly easy for the merfolk to take down a lone ship at this point, they wanted to have better control of their waters. 

The merfolk made a deal with a stranger in order to magically build their own weapons to fight back. While little is known about who exactly helped them, it is rumored that they allied with a Monsterkin who would go on to be a part of the many headed cult. The merfolk used their newfound power to create gigantic creatures from rocks and stones from the depths to act as sentinels for their sacred lands. Some more creative merfolk were able to use islands themselves, though these were always too small to be inhabited. 

At first, it worked. Neither Cornia nor Fenmark knew how to handle such a creature and many ships were lost. Eventually it was discovered that the magic holding these creatures together could be fairly easily disrupted. Relatively few of these creatures still exist, if any at all.
