wait, inver!england/albion blew up? how'd it blow up? nuke? meteor? magic? is the whole place like.. Gone? or just barren?

what caused it to become completely depopulated (and for its landmass to increase dramatically, causing it to bridge to the mainland & ireland, as visible in the map) was an Explosive Otherworld Event which also caused the formation of the Ruad, the giant and maybe-supernatural forest which covered the land. It was then re-settled by the people on its fringes (finbarr's ancestors etc) but it took them a very long time, relatively speaking, and even in the 21st century (pascal time) Inver is mostly uninhabitable forest with quite a weak economy and low level of Modern Conveniences compared to surrounding countries (the forest warps electromagnetic waves so it's very difficult to use a mobile phone there)

#britain and france both died a death before they ever existed and inver took their place and performed so poorly #that never in a million years could it become a colonial superpower because it could barely colonise its own land #the only reason people settled inver was because it was convenient route to ship goods overland from east of Inver to the Atlantic #using the lough as a convenient ferryway when it wasn't trying to kill everyone and u made the right offerings #setting: inver
