Hentos Ilm says that the Nascent is Kurald Emurlahn (DG, UK MMPB, p.377)

'This fragment of the long-fractured Tiste Edur warren was by far the largest he (Onrack)had come across, larger even than the one that surrounded Tremorlor, the Azath Odhanhouse. And this one had known a period of stability, sufficient for civilizations to arise, for savants of sorcery to begin unravelling the powers of Kurald Emurlahn, although those inhabitants had not been Tiste Edur.(HoC, UK MMPB, p.324)

The sky had been an unrelieved sea of pewter, darkening every now and then to loose a deluge of rain, though that had grown more infrequent of late. But now rents had appeared, ragged-edged. A swollen orb of yellow light commanded one entire horizon, the wall ahead seeming to drive towards its very heart; whilst directly overhead hung a smaller circle of blurred fire, this one rimmed in blue.

Trull Sengar: 'The suns return,' the Tiste Edur murmured. 'Here, in the Nascent, the ancient twin hearts of Kurald Emurlahn live on. There was no way of telling, for we did not rediscover this warren until after the Breach. The flood waters must have brought chaos to the climate. And destroyed the civilization that existed here.

Onrack: 'Were they Tiste Edur?'

Trull Sengar: 'No, more like your descendants, Onrack...They are as vermin, these humans of yours.'
(HoC, UK MMPB, p.330-1)

The flooding of the Nascent

'The sea's torrential arrival...'(HoC, UK MMPB, p.322)

'There had been no sunset in the realm the Tiste Edur called the Nascent for five months. The sky was grey, the light strangely hued and diffuse. There had been a flood, and then rains, and a world had been destroyed.'(HoC, UK MMPB, p.321)

Seasons in the Nascent

Onrack: 'There has been no night'

Trull: 'Not in the summer, no. The winters, it's said, are another matter. At the same time, with the deluge I suspect it's fruitless to predict what will come.'
(HoC, UK MMPB, p.332)

Sorcerous Wall in the Nascent

'The Nascent's extraordinary, continent-spanning wall was a curiosity in itself.'(HoC, UK MMPB, p.323)

'The sorcery that had sustained the wall against the vast weight of the new sea still held in this section. It had crumbled in others, forming wide breaches and foaming torrents of silt-laden water rushing through the other side. A shallow sea was spreading out across the land on that side. There might come a time, Onrack suspected, when fragments of this wall were this realm's only islands.'(HoC, UK MMPB, p.322)
