This Island Scramble, however, was not the Island Scramble of old. The Sea God was gone, slain with a single sword stroke by the Emperor of Terra from two generations past.
With the God dead, the ritual held in His honor naturally vanished as well.
But the history and legends remained!
So, a Legendary Mage found all the historical locations where the Island Scramble had been held. By turning back time, he restored all the islands that had once hosted the ritual before vanishing for various reasons.
He then offered them as prizes and established a new Island Scramble.
This was also why Isaac had chosen the Island Scramble over the Witch ritual he'd initially settled on.
The Island Scramble was a ritual that had only reappeared in recent years. There was a complete chain of evidence indicating that a powerful Legendary Mage had revived it, but this was where things got strange.
