Tidal Delta

The Tidal Delta was not quite as catastrophic as the other two Great Mana Scars, but has left its mark on Slagveld in its own way.

Legend
The eastern coast hosted a battle in which one side attempted to wash their enemies into the sea with a massive amount of water in a tidal wave. The exact method is no longer known, but this wave lasted almost an entire day. The army on the receiving end of this attack had mages who were canny enough to realize that attempting to push this water back would require far too much power to sustain for long, and so they merely deflected the water to each side of their charges. One has only to look at the Delta to see the results of this: for hours the water flowed at great speed in huge quantities, digging into the earth and eroding it minute by minute. In the end, a small newborn landmass was formed, connected to the mainland by an umbilical cord of earth that has since been snipped off by more natural erosion.

Appearance
Today, the Tidal Delta is separated from the mainland by only a few miles, but the water between is riddled with sandbars and jagged places of rock still poking up just below the surface. The area was declared mostly unusable by those with authority, but has been claimed in recent years by those who like to thumb their noses at authority. A large pirate base has cropped up, infuriating local government, for although the shanty town is clearly visible for miles around, it would take a full navy to oust the city full of practiced sailors and outlaws.
