History[]
High Elf Colonies[]
Previous to the Apparition of Humanity, the High elves of the Empire of Whide Axis founded many colonies on the shores of southern Hieyoks and Zarhuy. Most would be damaged or destroyed by tsunamis and earthquakes that plagued the world in an Age of Calamities from about 50 to 100 a.a.H.
Most of these colonies would rebuild, but would later suffer in the Age of Invasions due to depredations of migrating peoples such as Orcs, Kanovs, and Humans. Later, they will be hit hard by the Plague known as the Curse of Doroz.
Later Civilizations[]
The Muhbahr Ocean would figure prominently in the history of the Caliphate of the Orange Sun of Blazakhov and the Farsian Empire.
