The Move was general knowledge across the continent. Beneath the planet's surface were enormous concentrations of WorldPulse, flowing through underground channels known as WorldVeins. About every five years, a natural redistribution of this energy would occur, causing the terrain above to shift.
Several scholars and scientists had tried to unravel the mystery behind the Move, but all for naught. What caused it remained as much a mystery as the exact changes it brought about. However, they had managed to identify the areas most likely to be affected. The scholars called them hot spots, which were simply regions where the WorldPulse was particularly unstable and, as a result, more susceptible to these changes.
Unfortunately, to Zephyrion's chagrin, the eastern border was also considered a hot spot.
