Even now, the carcass of Midgardsormr lies entwined with the wreckage of the Agrius in the center of Silvertear Lake, a towering monument to the ferocity of the conflicts that have ravaged this land. Today, Mor Dhona stands as perhaps the single most scarred, battle-blasted region in all of Eorzea having been the stage for two of the most destructive battles in recent Eorzean history, and the first focus of Bahamut's awakened rage, much of the region is now desperately barren, crystal-scarred and uninhabitable, a far cry from its old verdancy. Many years later, the Battle of Carteneau ended with half of the region devastated by the effects of Bahamut emerging from Dalamud. Ceruleum leaking from the fallen airship, combined with Aether from the dying dragon king, would soon transform the flora of Mor Dhona into crystallized structures that remain visible to this day. Thus ended the Battle of Silvertear Skies - and one of the greatest defeats Garlemald had yet experienced in their campaigns of conquest.
Locked in a deadly embrace, the thunderous impact of Midgardsormr and the Agrius tolled their mutual demise. The air was filled with the deafening roars of cannons and dragonkin alike. And as if to answer the mighty wyrm's call, a host of dragons flew in from the northwestern reaches of Dravania and fell upon the Empire's forces. Midgardsormr, the dragon deity of Silvertear, had arisen, summoned by a hand unknown.
However, as the imperial fleet advanced into the skies above Silvertear Lake, it was met with a wholly unexpected sight. After taking Ala Mhigo, the Imperial Air Fleet made a move en-mass into Mor Dhona, led by the mighty super-dreadnought, the Agrius. It was the unclaimed nature of the area, as well as its central position on Aldenard and its verdancy, that likely attracted the attention of the Garlean Empire. In spite of this, Mor Dhona was famous for its wild and rugged beauty, particularly its lush green forests and striking waterfalls, which fed into and out of one of Aldenard's largest inland bodies of water: Silvertear Lake. This force was said to drain the element from anything that remained in contact with the ground for a long time if a wind crystal was buried there, for example, it soon became a pure crystal devoid of wind properties. It was said that since immemorial times, a great force slumbered there. Mor Dhona long laid between the various city-states of Eorzea, and generally unclaimed by any.
