It is believed that for most of the era much of the [[Bloodbrine Sea]] was frozen solid, on one hand preventing fishing and decimating the populations of sea life, but on the other, allowing for the migration of [[Miqo'te]] Tribes from Southern [[Ilsabard]] into Northern Eorzea. The frozen seas allowed them to circumvent the massive peaks of [[Gyr Abania]] that had kept them from returning to the lands they had been driven out of almost two millennia earlier by the [[Allagan Empire]].
To avoid the calamity, the [[Lalafell]] natives of [[the Southern Seas|the South Sea isles]] escaped through a portal to [[the Ninth]].


Eventually, as with every Calamity in the past, the storms and bitter cold subsided, leading to the [[Fifth Astral Era]].
