Year 120.6:
Gragahuda and Marek attack Green Ruby Island at the behest of the ocean titan. ((Are Morek King Under the Sands and Gragahudas the same as people as Marek King Under the Sea and Gragahuda?))
Diplomacy rolls:
(25% chance) Local Crabs and Cha'ghul join Gragahuda
(15% chance) = Local Crabs and Cha'ghul and Bloodfaeries retreat to the mainland, leaving the Sanddwellers and Elemen to fight alone
(45% chance) = The Crabs betray Gragahuda for not worshipping Maple
(15% chance) = The islanders become vassals of Gragahuda
52
As the attack is launched, Morek's bloodline betrays Morek, citing that Gragahuda is not a Crab, and has rejected the worship of Maple.
Attack on Morek's life (1 = killed)
1
Morek: King Under the Sands is killed by his own children. Korek the Crab laments, and retreats the Crab forces away from the island as the battle ensues.
Sanddweller, Eleman, Faerie, and creature unite to fight against the ocean titan Gragahuda.
Strategy:
1 = methodical attack
2 = target fortifications first
3 = inflict as many casualties as possible
4 = target undefended buildings and civilians
4
With the loss of his sole ally, Gragahuda decides to play it safe and cause as much destruction as possible with the least risk posed. (Effect: Gragahuda cannot be killed; island cannot be conquered)
1 = islanders
2 = Gragahuda

The defenders were prepared for an attack! Nets and traps await Gragahuda as he attacks the coastal villages, so he evades them and uses his giant body to create waves, flooding the coastal villages. After destroying the coastal area, he advances to the larger towns and hamlets. The are much better defended, and by now the militias have been warned of his advance. Both sides are completely prepared for the other, and waiting for the other to make the first move. Gragahuda begins uprooting trees and throwing them at the defenders. Town after town falls to Gragahuda's spiteful siege tactics, until he reaches the inner hamlets. Well-defended with stone and spear. Javelin and sling. Gragahuda destroys the rural shelters but after a day of fighting, decides that destroying the fortified defenders is simply not worth the efforts, and contents himself with eating the homeless victims in the surrounding ransacked villages.
80% of the structures are destroyed, yet 70% of the islanders survived! The Crabs, guilty over their former alliance with Gragahuda, offer to ferry refugees to the mainland, but are scapegoated by the other tribes. The Crabs are forced to evacuate Green Ruby Island.
Korek, the aging Crab leader names Kwaika the Aquamancer as his successor.
