The creation of the Savage isles

Geological / environmental event

With the rise of Li'tenar the gods found a patch of land just barely below the surface of the water. While the gods were still weak they saw this as an opportunity to create a species that would be devoted solely to them instead of the world trees that most living things worshipped and lived under. Here none of the trees could truly reach the land and assert their influence and thus the gods once again banded together and raised the savage isles out of the ocean. Here they created many different types of species but perhaps chief among them would be the humans. Short lived due to the limited power of the gods, the humans would still expand from the savage isles and live in all parts of E'ath. Today they are the largest of the sentient species but their limited lifespans prevents them from working together and even in their homeland of the savage isles there are constant wars. Still no matter where they live they are the species most devoted to the gods and with enough faithful to go around even the gods started warring, either because that had been in their nature all along or because they were affected by the humans who had now become their chief source of power.
