If so, what triggered it and what was it like?

Only on acid - my buddies and I got lost in a maelstrom and clung to a raft to survive. Two of us woke up on a serene island and made a beautiful community with the indigenous peoples of the island.

The other two found another island and created a futuristic industrialized society.

The ideological differences eventually formed physically into a great barrier called The Schism. They began polluting our lands and forced us into a hundred year war and many lives were lost.

Peace was found when emissaries from both tribes travelled to the caldera of the great volcano at the center of our island and met with the Keeper of the Scrolls who revealed to us that The Schism was invisible - we took that to mean that the only thing truly separating our people was our perceived differences.

But we were really, really trippin

Could you please drop a pin on the map for the Keeper of the Scrolls? He seems like a good dude to know.

Maybe we can encourage him to start c/askthekeeperofthescrolls so that more people have access to his wisdom?

Unsurprisingly, last I heard he’s living in a van on a river in Texas.

I miss that guy.
