On the day of the diplomatic mission to the Void, approximately 365 members of the First Circle gathered and ventured out in a formation developed by the [[:Category:Second Circle of the Divine|Second Circle]], the Finger of Fate. It consisted of six rings of Elders, the outer ring containing 100 Gods, the next ring containing 75 Gods, and so on and so forth until [[Amberle]] floated alone. Because of Their bond, [[Meridian]] and Amberle could share with those left in Xyl's observatory a view of the proceedings in the Void.

The Heralds first seemed to view the Gods with curiosity, and then amusement. That quickly turned violent, though, and the Heralds struck out at the Finger of Fate in an attempt to attack Amberle. The formation held, protecting Amberle, but the Heralds' intent was clear to most: peace was not wanted. Members of the Second Circle pled with Amberle to consider the Daath sequence, also known as the Breaker of the Cosmos, but She wished to give peace one more try. At that very moment, Dracnoris arrived outside the observatory and with haste, shattered the walls so that He could speak directly to those gathered there. He commanded the Gods to abort the mission, revealing to Them that the Soulless only had one imperative: to destroy.
