Centuries after The Sundering of Asterra, Nave would experience another disaster of unclear cause and circumstance known as The Conflux or “Confluvium”. This event coincided with the beginning of the Tindremic Empire's very slow decline following the failed occupation of Sarducaa and invasion of Nordveld.

The unrelenting earthquakes which shook Nave led to the Bridge of Tecton along Tecton's Fault collapsing and portions of Tindrem sinking in part or in whole.

Of particular note was the sinking of Vica Iudico, for as it sunk it took with it irreplaceable knowledge as well as the Armillogion, leaving the device in a state of irreparability even after it or its remains were recovered.

The various cultures of Nave—and even the people within a given culture—could not agree upon how much time had passed since The Conflux shook the planet, with a wide range of perceived years estimated to have passed by any given individual. This confusion led to the declaration of a new epoch and a new calendar era in Tindrem called Novo Tindrem or simply NT.

While most documents moved over to using NT, some also began using the abbreviation A.C. which may stand for Ad Conflux. It's unclear if these two measurements track time in the same way, or if they started tracking the years at the same time.

In connection with The Conflux something which is called The Great Washout befell Tindrem. The name is disputed but probably originates from when the foul-smelling tanneries and fisheries in the northern part of the city simply sank into the ocean. Another theory which has been proposed suggests that the name comes from when all kinds of abominations that had thrived unknown in the sewer system were swept out to sea to the horror of the residents during the following flood.

These abominations were not the only creatures to emerge in the wake of The Great Washout, however. Lucus Quies—Tindrem's inner graveyard which acted as an ancient burial ground for notable Tindremenes and had run out of space long before The Great Washout—partially sunk into the sea and from its disturbed soil the dead began to rise.
