**''({{News|Events|22}})'' | **[[Viravain]] sets out to remove the [[taint]] from [[Glomdoring]] and restore it to being [[Gloriana]]. Viravain seeks advice from [[Estarra]], who tells her she would need to remake every inch of the forest to revive the [[Master Ravenwood Tree]] and cleanse the tainted [[Great Spirit]]s. [[Raezon]] convinces Viravain that she can't complete the task, at least not without drawing power from the [[Seal of Nature]] to revive the Master Ravenwood Tree and cleanse the forest all at once. Viravain's attempt to do this shatters the Seal of Nature into 12 shards and [[Kethuru]] quickly possesses her. Estarra tries to destroy Viravain but the link to Kethuru is too strong, meaning destroying Viravain risks unweaving reality. With one Seal broken, [[Avechna]] is unable to arise and repel Kethuru. All the [[Elder God]]s convene to solve the problem while Viravain/Kethuru runs rampant and consumes the 12 Seal shards. ''({{News|Events|22}})'' | ||
*'''115 CE''' | *'''115 CE''' | ||
**''({{News|Events|23}})'' | **Mortals put differences aside to retrieve the Seal shards. Nodes on the [[Astral Plane]] are more energetic and draw stronger beasts during this time. With [[Terentia]] and [[Hajamin]]'s help, heroes completely drain one node and retrieve a Seal shard from it. Viravain/Kethuru retaliates, but mortals are undaunted once they know how the shards can be won. The Seal of Nature is pieced back together but still inert. Estarra holds Viravain/Kethuru at bay while the [[Elder God]]s pour power into the Seal, enough to rouse Avechna but not enough to end Kethuru's possession. Ultimately, [[Isune]] sacrifices her inner essence to empower Avechna to sever the link, freeing Viravain. This pyrrhic victory ends with Isune trapped on the Kethuru side of the Seals and Viravain forever warped by the experience. ''({{News|Events|23}})'' | ||
**''({{News|Events|24}})'' | **[[Viravain]] returns to cleansing Glomdoring but experiences two strange side-effects of her possession by Kethuru: she cannot recall the ordeal at all and is no longer able to sense [[taint]] at all. Thus, she misperceives her work complete and Gloriana restored. When the [[taint]]ed [[Great Spirit]] [[Crow (spirit)|Crow]] is revived, Viravain welcomes her creation as though it had no changes. Viravain asks [[Lisaera]] for help awakening the fae avatars connected to [[Mother Night]]. Lisaera refuses to awaken [[taint]]ed spirits, angering Viravain. Mother Night works with Viravain and many mortals to awaken [[Gwyllgi]], the Dog of Darkness; [[Glumki Thorneye]], King of the Redcaps; and [[Lhiannan Shee-Slaugh]]. After the tainted avatars wake, [[Maeve|Queen Maeve]]'s demeanor shifts darker because she reflects all fae. Maeve declares that whoever consecrates the [[Staff of Kiakoda]] would gain ascendancy in [[Faethorn]]. [[Serenwilde]] wins this contest. ''({{News|Events|24}})'' | ||
**''({{News|Events|25}})'' | **The [[undead]] [[elfen]] [[Rowena Nightshade]] lures [[Laeroc]], Consort to [[Queen Maeve]], into giving her a child through strange alchemies and magics. Thus, the first [[faeling|shadow faelings]] are born. ''({{News|Events|25}})'' | ||

On a mission, 4 [[lucidian]] sisters appear on Avechna's Peak and teach [[Astrology]] to the [[Guardian]]s and [[Wiccan]]s. Together, the newly-founded observatories perform a ritual that lowers a shield revealing the [[Arysian Isles]] in [[Bondero Bay]]. ''({{News|Events|33}})'' | ||
***The [[Arysian Isles]] hold a forgotten [[mage]] facility where [[Project Gorgog]] developed creatures from all 4 elements as living probes for testing [[Astral Plane|Astral]] travel prior to [[Project Cosmic Hope]]. During the [[Taint Wars]], when [[Earth]] became [[Taint]]ed, the gorgogs became twisted and insane as well. The facility's resident [[Geomancers]] similarly went mad, while the [[Pyromancers]] and [[Aeromancers]] were called away to fight. A few Imperial [[Aquamancers]] did their best to seal the gorgogs into dimensional pockets; however, some gorgogs eluded them and the invasion began when the free gorgogs released the others. | |||
