Storm of Separation

Storm of Separation was a huge sea storm that took place during Five Hundred voyage to Mereth in late Merethic Era.

Ysgramor's sons were caught up in this storm and were separated from the rest of the fleet.

The youngest son, Ylgar, and his crew managed to sail through it easily without any casualities. He arrived safely at Hsaarik Head bit later than the rest of the crew.

However, his brother, Yngol, wasn't so lucky. He and his crew were lost after the storm. Ysgramor was furious and commanded sea-ghosts to surrender his son. As a result another storm rose, Ysgramor ventured back into the Sea of Ghosts. Only after the second storm was over Ysgramor found wreck of Harakk, Yngol's longboat. He found out that Yngol and his crew were killed by the sea-ghosts prior to his arrival.

"Yngol And The Sea-Ghosts" suggests that sea-ghosts were actual creatures and not simple term for deaths at sea. That means that this storm could have had unnatural causes, however, this remains only a speculation.
