Unfortunately, due to global warming and the rising of the waters, the sands transformed into a forest paradise and were subsumed by the treefolk.

that is unlikely. global warmer makes climate change to extremes. thus the sands get drier. it is more likely that the trees uprooted and burned in the invasions no longer keep the soil in place (cont)

(cont) thus the nutrients get washed away and the forest turns to desert.

Polar ice melts -> water rises and cools -> nutrients are washed ashore and trapped by the sand -> seeds sprout in said nutrients holding them in place. Global warming doesn't push things to extremes, but it will change the climate of the planet.

as someone who lives in a coastal river delta coountry let me just tell you that you are wildly overestimating the ability of both the trees ability to thrive on beaches and the ability of most species of plant seeds to survive in water.

:) I didn't say it would happen overnight. For what it's worth, I have a degree in marine science. It'll happen, just not overnight. It would be a period of years (probably decades) and would require the right conditions. For what it's worth, it's happened before.

the conditions won't be right, the Nora is running out.

*sigh* I guess the Forsaken Wastes wins in the end.
