A connected world
Nothing here exists alone
Gizmagrad's founding begins at the River of Sand and the buried head of Earin; its rise leads to the Clockwork Wars, its enemies answer with the Drowning, and its survival produces the War of the Seven Ports. Every record below links into that larger chronology.
