Attacks upon the First World continued, focused heavily upon a third of the world known as the [[Basin of Life]]. It was there, in the shadow of [[Avechna's Peak|Mount Dynara]] and protected on all sides by steep mountain ranges, that the Elders focused most of Their defenses. The decision to create the Maeve Consciousness proved to be one of the Gods' most important decisions, but even the Maeve had its limitations. The Creators and Awakeners who were responsible for bringing into life the Spirits that protected the forests were forced to stand by and simply hope that Their creations could protect themselves. | Attacks upon the First World continued, focused heavily upon a third of the world known as the [[Basin of Life]].

During this time, [[Manteekan]] began awakening lesser spirits for the sole purpose of battling the Soulless. These spirits - dark and twisted beings like the redcaps, the barghests, and the banshees - seemed to be opposed by the Maeve Consciousness, but soon she gave in to the fact that they were effective. The Awakeners, however, feared that Manteekan's creations would one day need to be put down, lacking the grace and elegance of Their own spirit creatures. | During this time, [[Manteekan]] began awakening lesser spirits for the sole purpose of battling the Soulless.

The Awakeners, however, feared that Manteekan's creations would one day need to be put down, lacking the grace and elegance of Their own spirit creatures. The other Gods also began to suspect that something had changed about Manteekan, as He was growing pale and emaciated, and the power that must have been necessary to awaken His spirits was far greater than what the Elders were used to. | ||
Another Elder, [[Blooredi]], was transforming gradually over time. He became pale and gangly, and His temperament changed to be more aggressive and prickly. And like Manteekan, Blooredi soon achieved the awakening of his own Great Spirit - Spirit Scorpion. The scorpions were intended to battle the Soulless, but Blooredi struggled to make them obey Him. However belligerent they were, though, Spirit Scorpion was able to create a toxin that could actually harm the Soulless, and soon the Warriors of the Second Circle were coating Their weapons in it. | |||
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. | |||
Lisaera, because of Her bond with Fain, was chosen to infiltrate a meeting of the Coterie. Her sibling-mate, [[Elfenehoala]] | |||
