Eventually, the final nine Vernal Gods were able to trap the last remaining Soulless, the [[Kethuru|Mighty Kethuru]], behind [[:Category:Living Seals|Nine Seals]], though they had to merge themselves into [[Avechna|one being]] to do so. With the Soulless imprisoned and the Vernal Gods' power absorbed by the Seals, the Vernal Wars ended, and mortals were finally, for the first time in history, able to thrive without their very existence threatened by extraplanar beings. | Eventually, the final nine Vernal Gods were able to trap the last remaining Soulless, the [[Kethuru|Mighty Kethuru]], behind [[:Category:Living Seals|Nine Seals]], though they had to merge themselves into [[Avechna|one being]] to do so.

After the Elder and Vernal Wars, Lusternia was greatly damaged, with only pockets of the world remaining remotely habitable. The largest of these pockets is the [[Basin of Life]], which became the primary region for the rest of history. | After the Elder and Vernal Wars, Lusternia was greatly damaged, with only pockets of the world remaining remotely habitable.

==The End of the Holy Celestine Empire== | |||
[[Ladantine VII]], Holy Celestine Emperor, announced [[Project Cosmic Hope]], an expedition to reach the then-theoretical [[Astral Plane]] using a nexus of power. The forest communes shared prophetic warnings they received about the Project, but the Empire ultimately did not heed them. [[Magnagora]]'s [[Stone of Truth]] hosted the launch and, upon reaching the Astral Plane which is heavily [[Taint]]ed by [[Kethuru]]'s presence, the Stone cracked unleashing the Taint throughout [[Shallamar]], [[Earth]] and Magnagora. The Taint cloud spread, killing or mutating everyone who encountered it. [[Hallifax]] used summoned winds to deflect the cloud from reaching them but ended up blowing the Taint south to [[Glorianna Forest]], which became [[Glomdoring]] the merciless. | |||
The Expedition, heavily Tainted or undead from being stuck on the Astral Plane, reappeared through [[Gaudiguch]]'s [[Eternal Flame]]. Gaudiguch's wary leadership tried to keep the emperor's cohort under house arrest. Nonetheless, Hallifax invaded the Plane of Fire, fearing that Gaudiguch had fallen to the Taint. Gaudiguch held a similar fear about Hallifax due to this sudden aggression. The two cities resorted to their greatest experimental powers at the same time and the resulting interaction froze them both in time and severed the Taint's connection to Kethuru. | |||
[[Elder Honeysap]], the [[Great Tree]] of [[Ackleberry Forest]], retreated from the world to avoid becoming Tainted like Glorianna. | |||
