Working from memory, but I think that the mythic age maps showed no significant water incursions into Prax or the Garden. I would note that there are exactly zero explanations of why there is a giant cliff facing the ocean along the entire shore, or wht the Praxians have zero stories about the ocean, depsite having an enormous coastline. I think there is a storm-age story there that, as Peter points out, is quite lost, but could be found again by intrepid heroquesting.
My own version of it would include the giants either raising the land or raising the cliff as a wall, erecting guards (like the remaining sentinel), and Seolinthur being the only one who made it across the wall. That might be where the Elf Sea came from, I suppose. (Or is there some origina story for it?) I would simultaneously jettison the notion that Seolinthur had any kind of loyalty to Genert: I would make him a conqeuered entity of some kind. It would strongly imply that Seolinthur had a draconic nature.
But I see no reason why anyone would want to write anything definitive about this. It is something that ought to be left open to MGF.
