As the tide turned in the Elder Gods' favor and more battles against the Soulless were being won, the [[Crimson Eyes]] - a cadre of Second Circle warriors led by [[Kalikai]] - and a small contingent of Elders met on the Cosmic Plane of [[Continuum]] to discuss a grave concern. Krokano had brought Meridian the proof He needed to launch an investigation into the secret affairs of Fain and his Coterie, who They suspected were using His elixir despite the decision that had been made earlier in the War to prohibit its use. | As the tide turned in the Elder Gods' favor and more battles against the Soulless were being won, the [[Crimson Eyes]] - a cadre of Second Circle warriors led by [[Kalikai]] - and a small contingent of Elders met on the Cosmic Plane of [[Continuum]] to discuss a grave concern.
