'''The Great Erosion''' was one of the most transformative events in the history of [[Adaris]], marking the moment when the primordial realm of Orethil, the realm of the [[~~Oras~~|Primordial Spirit of Earth]], was first breached by external elemental forces. Before this event, [[Orethil]] existed as an infinite and unchanging realm of pure earth and stone, untouched by the influence of other elements. It was the first and most enduring realm, formed from the chaotic energies of [[Astram]] within the [[Primordial Void]].

The Great Erosion was not merely a geological event but a metaphysical upheaval that forever altered the balance of the elements in Adaris, reshaping its landscapes, its spirits, and its societies.

== The Consequences of the Great Erosion ==

The Great Erosion marked the transformation of Orethil from an infinite realm into the bounded continent of [[Méniail]]. The once-endless dominion of [[~~Oras~~]] contracted, its center solidifying around the [[Citadel Mountains]], the last bastion of its primordial power.

The ~~Orasians~~, ancient beings born of earth, were altered by the incursion. Once vast and immovable, many were reduced in scale and strength, their forms reshaped by air, fire, and water. As elemental forces mingled, new lifeforms, ecosystems, and societies arose, each bearing traces of the primordial spirits that now coexisted within the realm.
