**Two [[trill]] hunters, [[Aiella Ironwing]] & [[Viric Longfeather]], tracked two white tigers who attack [[New Celest]] and [[Magnagora]], while [[Mraxin]], an [[aslaran]] [[druid]] from [[Jojobo|beyond the Basin]], tasks the [[Hartstone]] and [[Blacktalon]] with protecting the endangered species. The two tigers are killed, but two cubs are found later. The trill hunters teach the city [[warrior]]s [[Hunting]] & [[Tracking]], while the druid teaches the commune folk [[Hunting]] & [[Ecology]]. | **Two [[trill]] hunters, [[Aiella Ironwing]] & [[Viric Longfeather]], tracked two white tigers who attack [[New Celest]] and [[Magnagora]], while [[Mraxin]], an [[aslaran]] [[druid]] from [[Jojobo|beyond the Basin]], tasks the [[Hartstone]] and [[Blacktalon]] with protecting the endangered species.

**[[Lacostian]] uses a floating quartz disk to drain energy from the [[Seal of Beauty]] at the same time that a being called Whisp (later identified as [[Isune]]) begins contacting novices. Lacostian's disk succeeds in extracting Isune from the Kethuru side of the Seal but the disk is overwhelmed and shatters. With much effort, mortals and Lacostian assemble the pieces into a statue of Isune that comes to life, marking her second return to Lusternia. However, in a strange inverse of [[Viravain]]'s condition, a horrified Isune perceives everyone and everything as [[taint]]ed, even if they are not. | **[[Lacostian]] uses a floating quartz disk to drain energy from the [[Seal of Beauty]] at the same time that a being called Whisp (later identified as [[Isune]]) begins contacting novices.

**Sudden lighting plants a crystal tree on [[Mount Seirode]]. Unusual new birds called Aerials appear and, when brought near the crystal tree, bond with it. With enough Aerials, the tree flashes and the [[Elder God]] [[Elcyrion]], brother of [[Lacostian]], returns to Lusternia. Lacostian is skeptical, believing his brother died in the Elder Wars, until Elcryion explains his escape. | **Sudden lighting plants a crystal tree on [[Mount Seirode]].

**With the sudden appearance of the pillars in the Cave of Justice, [[Viravain]] is pulled into the [[Seal of Justice]]. [[Isune]] tries to extract her later until something goes wrong and so [[Shikari]] cuts the attempt short. In the aftermath, Isune's form contains both herself and Viravain. The dual goddess travels to [[Glomdoring]] and has a long conversation with herselves. Eventually, the [[Ebonglom Wyrm]] spins an enormous cocoon around itself, [[Crow (spirit)|Brother Crow]], [[Night (spirit)|Mother Night]], the [[Master Ravenwood Tree]], and the goddesses. | **With the sudden appearance of the pillars in the Cave of Justice, [[Viravain]] is pulled into the [[Seal of Justice]].

They rose up in the sky and drew Glomdoring's [[taint]] up to them where it was transformed into the [[wyrd]], a fae word that means "a powerful event which changes the course of the Fates."

**''({{News|Events|48}}) | **When the Iron Council of Magnagora seems unconcerned about a shrine to [[Elcyrion]] in the city, the Great Houses leave and begin plotting. [[House n'Rotri]] captures members of other Great Houses and enacts a demonic ritual. Upon completing the ritual, [[Kebira n'Rotri]] demands all people recognize her as Empress of the Basin. No one concedes this and so she causes the [[Necromentate]] to create "strange creatuers" which invade the Basin and eventually merges with it to become a colossal horror. With the help of [[Alaron y'Bolgari|Alaron]] and [[Selima y'Bolgari|Selima]] of [[House y'Bolgari]] and [[Snaikka i'Xiia|Snaikka]] of [[House i'Xiia]], a trap is set that disempowers Kebira.

** | **In [[Faethorn]], [[Perriwinkle Sweetpease|Perriwinkle]] proposes to and marries [[Butter Sweetpease]]. Animosity between the [[fae]] of [[Glomdoring]] and [[Serenwilde]] is put aside during the festivities. [[Queen Maeve]] officiates and after offers the newlyweds with one wish as a wedding gift. Butter wishes that her godmother [[Jeitara]] could join the celebration. Jeitara appears and blesses the couple before traveling to the depths of the [[Inner Sea]] to spawn mutated [[kelpie]]s. The slaying of these aberrant beings gives Jeitara what she needs to awaken a volcano on the ocean floor opening a tunnel to [[Carai Caroo]]. ({{News|Events|49}}) | ||

**''({{News|Events|51}}) | **[[Elcyrion]] and [[Lacostian]] attempt to use an orb they made to peer into the [[Void]] (just as [[Xyl]] had once done). A hesitant Lacostian evokes a shield to contain the untested invention. Though highly critical of the entire experiment, [[Raezon]] adds power as well and the vision coalesces into what appears to be [[Fain]], [[Hajamin]] and [[Terentia]] in a losing battle with a [[Soulless]]. Fearing for their kin, Elcyrion, Lacostian and Raezon strain themselves to extend a lifeline of essence into the Void and narrowly rescue Fain and Terentia but not Hajamin. Fain and Terentia, both unconscious and greatly wounded, are taken to [[Nil]] and [[Celestia]] respectively to recuperate. Mortals gathered [[essence]] from the [[Ethereal Plane|Etheral]] and [[Elemental Plane]]s to hasten their recovery. Terentia awakens first and demands to know if "he has 'it'". Without explaining further, she dashes back to the [[Transcendental Fulcrux]], back into the Void and returns with a [[:Category:Elder Artifacts|large crystal sphere]]. Fain arises soon after, similarly concerned about 'it', and furious at the news of Terentia and the crystal sphere. ({{News|Events|51}}) | ||
