Great Dangaroo Flood
This plaque has been placed at the high water mark of one of the worst floods of En Kymhuirian times. Incredibly after two years at sea on their rafts of asphalt, the Tehachapi, the great road builders of Estrelliia [the initial k is not usually written], nearly foundered here at the end. But that first dusc, as the waters receded, the sky cleared, revealing a sign: no new heavens at all, but, for just that one night, the stars from their other side of the world; and so they called the place kNow Estrelliia the name now given to this whole rezhn of Arctic Islands.

1. Great Dangaroo Flood (Kcymaerxthaere Project). Overview:
The flood is known as the Great Dangaroo Flood because when the band of Tehachapi arrived at the height of the flood in their rafts of asphalt, they assumed that only Dangaroos, the giant war kangaroos whose huge claws could disembowel a man from 20 paces. Their devastating strength was decisive against the Material Alliance (of whom the Tehachapi were a reluctant part) at the Battle of the Devils Marbles, the beginning of the Tehachapic exile.(Submitted on April 1, 2026.)
