The epicenter was around the town of Idrija in present-day Slovenia. The earthquake affected a large territory between Carinthia, Friuli, present-day Slovenia, and Croatia.

Aries 9th, 5511 FY Fabella year equal to March 29th, 1511 AD Earth Year
On Aries 9th, 5511, the first portion of the A Sorcerer’s Collection to Verbal Incantations was written. The work was widely considered the most comprehensive spellbook in history. It became the definitive authority on the meaning, pronunciation, and history of over half a million incantations, past and present.
Plans for the spellbook began in 5500 when members of the Order of the Source, who believed there were no up-to-date, error-free spellbooks available, decided to produce one that would cover all incantations known to their brotherhood. Conceived as a nine-volume work, it was estimated the project would take three years to finish. It took over 11 years for the spellbook to be published because of debate among source members over what spells to include.
Ultimately the Order of the Source decided to exclude 237 curses, hexes, and other spells from the book, which they wished to keep confidential. Some of these in later years were released to the public, such as Tabik-Damu, the killing curse, and the decapitation curse. One hundred fifty remained shrouded in mystery, known only to a few, throughout history. These spells became known collectively as the “Mystic Hush.”
Still, even though the mystery surrounding the book’s compiling, the release of A Sorcerer’s Collection of Verbal Incantations was greeted with tremendous celebration. It became a staple in many magical homes and schools.
Popular incantations contained within the spellbook included:
Abaku
Pronunciation: Ahb-ah-koo Description: Discharges enough force to push a heavy object or opponent backward.
Bahu
Pronunciation: Bah-hoo Description: The slicing spell. Primarily used in the kitchen; but is also an effective attack spell.
Dagalu
Pronunciation: Dahg-ah-loo Description: A jinx to cause temporary blindness.
Elelu
Pronunciation: Ehl-ehl-oo Description: A spell to elevate one’s mood and make them happy for no reason.
Gazzizu
Pronunciation: Gah-ziz-oo Description: Shears the heavy fur coats off livestock.
Hapapu
Pronunciation: Hahp-ahp-oo Description: Stacks papers strewn about into a nice orderly pile.
Imhur
Pronunciation: Im-hoor Description: A spell used to seal a wound like stitches.
Kispu Pas
Pronunciation: Kis-poo Pahs Description: Instantly ends any spell.
Witches and wizards obsessed by the restrictiveness of the “Mystic Hush” pursued confidential information throughout the years. It was widely believed in the wizarding community that whoever learned all the missing spells within the Hush would be crowned the world’s greatest sorcerer.
