The mortal Soll Peulus ascended as Ayridion, the White Flame in the year 168 CE, by mastering the Nine Seals and renewing the prison of Almighty Kethuru, the greatest of the Soulless Gods. Twenty years later, a strange plague spread across the Basin of Life, and Ayridion fought against it numerous times. When the source of the plague struck at the Nine Seals themselves, Ayridion sacrificed his divine essence to create the Threshold Abyss, which separates the Immanidivinus - the source of the Elder Gods' power - from the realms of the Nine Domoth, wherein the Seals draw their strength. This process altered Ayridion irrevocably, destroying his divinity, and what remains of him walks the lands now as Ilyarin, first of the Ascendants.
