Sun Death: Although watered down in modern times a fundamental aspect to the Cenn concept of gender is that men and women are different peoples, Cennu and Cenna. Cennu supposedly came to the mini-continent of Cennabell 500 years ago after an event known as Sun Death. Just as Cenna have Cennabell Cennu had Cennubell far to the south. In the mythology Cennubell was a series of islands with dramatic cliffs, strange rock formations and basalt columns which the Cennu lived in. The Cennu were peaceful with one another but had a mortal enemy in the form of large squid like creatures called Grubarnachs. Prior to Sun Death itself the Grubarnachs had supposedly grown huge and capable of wrapping up an island in their tentacles then crush it into dust. In their fear the Cennu called upon their whale like telepathic guides called Varu to aid them. With great deliberation the Varu decided that they had no choice. The Cennu were evacuated onto ships which were then attached to the Varu who swam away from Cennubell with the Grubarnachs chasing after them. However it was too late for the much slower creatures as the Sun grew larger and brighter in the sky until it crashed down onto Cennubell obliterating the islands and everything, even the water, for miles around (including the Grubarnachs). As the Varu and their ships were being dragged into the void in the ocean left by the impact they asked the Godhead to save them which it did, setting them far away and giving the Varu a vision of Cennabell.

A tall tale of course but in modern times sailors in metal oil powered ships do sometimes keep a look out for Grubarnachs or mistake a windswept minuscule island for the remains of Cennubell.
