Centuries of mining by Varelay, particularly into the dormant peaks of Malephar, led to what is now called the Varelay Upheaval. Lasting a little over two centuries, it was a period of strong volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and the downfall of a two-millennia old empire.
The biggest eruptions began in 2608 LE. These caused a massive collapse, blocking a lava artery named Surturs Eyebrow. Pressure, or some say the doings of Surtur, led to the eruptions of Arhi'phis and Verfaer. A cataclysmic event, the water table of the Gurutharni Swamp changed, creating lake Styming, and submerging part of Rolipoon. Earthquakes brought down some of the ancient fortifications of Mughakh-Gol and lava flows cooked the lands around the cities of Orias Vual and Dema'sax.
