War of Quakes and Tides

The War of Quakes and Tides was a massive war between the gods that lasted for an entire century, from 522 to 627. The war changed the balance of power greatly, the most major changes being the death of the god Xabre and the departure of Jehxstia. An uncountable number of mortals also perished in the fighting, leaving most previous civilizations in crumbles or completely destroyed.

Beginning of the War
Jehxstia, in the year 521, claimed a remarkable mortal, whose name has been wiped from history, to be his Chosen that would lead his people to glory. So, the Chosen went on a pilgrimage to all parts of the world. However, when the chosen entered the sea, she was killed in a massive hurricane. Enraged, Jehxstia declared war on Hiy'murmun and claiming that she must have purposely killed the Chosen.

Horostalk, Hiy'murmun's old rival, mobilized to aid Jehxstia in an attempt to finally gain supremacy. Xabre, in response, allied himself with Hiy'murmun, claiming that he had predicted all of the future and knew that it demanded Hiy'murmun needed to live. The Xaetorj, a league of powerful Sanlwye, also came to Hiy'murmun's aid while the fledgeling god Lwyion fought alongside Jehxstia. Alwene is also supposedly involved in the fight as creatures of the underworld also fought against the forces of Jehxstia and Horostalk.

From the onset the war was bloody and horrible, for Horostalk used a massive hammer to cause an earthquake under the sea, destroying several beautiful cities of the nymphs, while Jehxstia's forces attacked the scattered nymph mainland nations. Hiy'murmun called forth massive tsunamis in retaliation, washing away the coastal cities on Cyanith. Xabre's forces swept through and blocked Jehxstia and Horostalk's long enough so that Hiy'murmun's could escape to the sea, where they were safe from attack.

Xabre retreated back behind the walls of his strongholds and Hiy'murmun sent rain as heavy as rocks to aid the defense, starting a phase of the fighting in which Jehxstia and Horostalk were unable to attack either of the two gods.

Burning Water
Jehxstia developed a way to attack the forces of Hiy'murmun in their underwater home. Using an invention of Xabre's own, called Everburning Fire, he was able to light the ground underneath the waves of the ocean. Hiy'murmun was unable to put out the fire and it spread quickly, burning cities and killing many who were unable to escape. The nymphian were forced onto land, where they were once again vulnerable.

Horostalkian and Jehxstian forces attacked them immediately, but after a strong effort from Xabre and Hiy'murmun, the nymphs were able to obtain secure positions on the coastline where they could call forth waves to wash away enemies.
