At the end of the battle Mount Deismaar exploded and the ensuing tectonic activity caused the land-bridge to collapse, the Straits of Aerele were formed in the collapse.
The sea bed where the land bridge once stood is chaotic, varying from only a few hundred feet deep in parts to miles deep in others, many navigation techniques go astray in the wild waters near the Deismaar crater itself, while the fish of this part of the sea are on occasion freakish in nature.
