Old Cobble Kingdom (Total War)

The Old Cobble Kingdom is the northeasternmost known extent of the Umoloth, a stretch of frozen sea that covers the sunken lands that were once the Cobble Kingdom.

Geography
In the early Ancient Age, the Old Cobble Kingdom was above water, a large expanse of cold land and mountains that stretched far beyond the known boundaries of the charted world. During the Lokomo - Cobble Wars and release of the Phantom Army, an unknown calamity caused much of the land to sink beneath the waves, leaving a large archipelago of islands in its wake.

Much like the Anouki Ice Shelf to the south, the Old Cobble Kingdom is unnaturally cold stretch of ocean dominated by icebergs and frozen winds, approximately 7500 square miles in area. Numerous sunken pyramid cities and islands that were once mountaintops jut from the waters, testament to the lost wonders of the Cobble Kingdom.

Ancient Age
C. 6000 BG, one of the first two known groups of Hyrulean peoples, the Cobble, developed in the area of the Old Cobble Kingdom, coming to be ruled by imperial dynasties and forging perhaps the largest civilization that ever existed on the face of Hyrule in a thousand year span between 6000-5000 BG. By 5500 BG, the Cobble had settled the coast of Arcadia on mainland Hyrule, ruling an empire that extended far to the north and east, its territory so vast the modern Kingdom of Hyrule would have been but a '' Tektite to a Molgera. '' Ruled by powerful Emperors, the Cobble constructed monolithic cities and pyramids that dwarfed later settlements, their power enforced through great constructs such as Eox. In 4900 BG, however, due to manipulation by the Parella, the Cobble Kingdom went to war with their Lokomo cousins for control of the Umoloth, sparking a destructive 200-year war that by 4700 BG had dragged both both the Parella and the Oshunites into the conflict. Even with the Parella's role in starting the war revealed, the Cobble Kingdom chose to align with the servants of Bellum, directly embracing Bellum Worship, and with its sheer power began to turn the tide against the Lokomo and Oshunites. In desperation, King Oshus constructed the Phantom Army, unstoppable magic construct, but when unleashed, they turned on both ally and enemy alike, scouring the Great Sea of every living thing in their path and destroying the warring empires. To survive, some Cobble hid away in huge magical vaults, awaiting when the Phantoms ceased their scourge, so they could awaken and rebuild their Kingdom. However, something went wrong, and they never awoke, trapped in their magical stasis. Oshus was able to seal the Phantoms in stasis, but the all four belligerents were left in ruins, and the sunken lands and cities of the Old Cobble Kingdom were left as half sunken, abandoned ruins.
