Pangaea is a time that happened nearly 300 million years ago when the Earth was at an estimated age of 3.5 billion years. Pangaea is when all the continents were combined into one landmass, and this was surrounded by the only ocean at the time, which was called Panthalassa. All forms of life on land lived together in Pangaea at that time.

As it is with all stories, there is an origin. Events that happen now will have consequences for the future. At this point, all of Pangaea is still one continent. Dinosaurs were the most dominant of all species, both on the land and below the waters of Pangaea before Magic. Some of the creatures living in the Ocean can live both on land and in water. No Clans have been formed and declared yet.
