Name of the world (landmasses included) from the ocean.
They strained with love,
To quench the fire
To seal at last
And from an embrace
Life burst forth
To fill the depths
Errbeolaus wept
At last at peace
-excerpt from an ancient poem describing the creation of life on Errbeolaus
Things that Everyone Knows (whether or not it is true).
Life started in the waters below, and those who decided to move to the land were those who were too weak to live below. Your magic, your traditions, and your peoples are the oldest things that exist in this world, and with that age comes generations and generations of history and happenings long before those who stumbled about above even learned how to walk on two legs. Because of the unpredictability of life in the ocean, parts of that history have been lost. But you have not lost who you are as a people, even in your disparate groups, and there is a strong sense of identity and belonging from the place in which you were born and the very specific knowledge sets that you have as a result.
