Advent 2019:Calendar/3

So today I am going to be talking about cataclysms, large scale events that have a geographic impact. Gaia is a 'dead' world purely in the sense of not having tectonic activity, and has existed for only a few thousand years. That does not mean that large scale events without geographical impacts do not occur. They do. Heck the world was created by one...

The creation of the 3 dimensions
Young Gaia and Neptune were fresh and full of boundless energy. So reckless were they in their revelry that they thought that they had the power to shape the universe. And so they tried, bringing into existence three new dimensions, the dimensions in which humans now live. But it was to be their undoing. Weakened were they by their efforts, they were limited in their outwards expansion into these new dimensions and pieces broke off them to form into elementals.

Dawn of a new world
Early gaia was very different to the modern world, it consisted mainly of a high flat platou of rock over which magma regularly flowed along with a mainly very deep sea. The atmosphere contained a thick layer of cloud through which their was virtually no light. While this began to change through the great elemental war it was only after the use of the 4 weapons that Gaia as we know it came into being.
