Summary:

As the sun rises on yet another day on these strange islands, you wander outside of your race's lands, and near the shore. You find yourself stepping in large puddles, and seeing that the water seems to have shifted a few feet towards farther into the beach. You bump this though out of your mind though, knowing it must not be true. Over the next few days though, the water continues to continuously creep its way up the beach, until it's near the walls of your settlement.

People begin to leave behind their new homes, taking only necessities, and flee to the center of their respective island. While the water doesn't come quickly, it keeps up a steady pace, and serves its purpose, flooding homes, and forcing people away. Over time, nearly all the people are gathered at the center of their islands, and the water slows its pacing down. Smaller settlements are built, mostly just scattered tents and huts, though, while the water remains. While the races are together fights may break out, though not much can happen regarding the situation, they are forced to work out the problems for the most part.

After a few days of this, it begins to subside, though significant damage was done. Returning to their lands after a few days of waiting for it all to be seemingly gone, the people find their items to be scattered throughout the island, their homes in near ruins, with the windows shattered, the furniture misplaced and damaged. Everyone works together to fix these things over time, but it is quite a pain for them all, and many things are lost to the sea completely, as the waves took them.

What might have caused these disasters? This is what the island people are thinking about, while there was a slight bit of rain, there was never enough to cause such a grand scale event. So, was the water rising, or the island sinking ever so slightly. The most common belief of the people is that there may be a large scale event of melting glaciers occurring to the north of the islands, while they hadn't explored that area, the possibility is there, and people find this the most reasonable explanation.

Other Information:

This could clump the player base together, leading to interesting roleplay, as they are all in a cramped area, though there is room for the people still.

Do you need the Event Team's assistance?:

I would need their help, yes.

If so, do you require actors and/or builders?:

I need actors to play the roles of the sea creeping inland, and maybe a stray person every so often who arrives late, and tells of the horrible damage already occurring.

Builders would be needed to have the water move up a certain amount of levels each day, this can be worked out should this be accepted.

Very un-original, I always see this 'idea' brought up every month. Be original!
