The first kingdom to splinter from the crumbling Eldar Empire in Toldravane was that founded in the ruins of the old dragon city of Sûnda. Freed from his prison by the great earthquakes that shook the earth in the burning days, Tyrax the Younger set flame to his captors and freed their slaves, founding the start of his new empire: the Empire of the Southern Sun.
A massive attack by Tyrax and his allies severed communications and travel between the people of Toldravane and the rest of the old Eldar Empire, forming the Bloodspray Sea.

Ottermen migrated along the coast of the chinstrap sea. These migrations were spurred by religious disagreements between the Oteri.
