The Queen wasted no time in revealing the plans of the kephera: the nearby [[Glomdoring Forest]] was an abomination and needed to be burned to the ground. The highly matriarchal nature of the kepherans was made known when the Queen also ordered all females in the forest to be slain while the males were to be enslaved. [[Inferno beetle|Inferno beetles]] sprung forth from the ground, seemingly under the control of the kepherans, and carried out the orders of the Queen by setting fire to the trees and slaying the [[Great Spirit of Crow]]. | The Queen wasted no time in revealing the plans of the kephera: the nearby [[Glomdoring Forest]] was an abomination and needed to be burned to the ground.

The forces of the kephera attempted to march into the city of Magnagora next, but the strange cloaked figures - now revealed to be [[illithoid|illithoids]] - that aligned with the Magnagorans had used their psionic forces to envelop the city with a psychic wave similar to the one that had previously messed with the minds of psions across the Basin. | |||
With hostilities between the kephera and illithoid at a standstill, both sides of the conflict took time to introduce themselves further to each other. Adventurers learned that the kephera had splintered from the [[Elder Gods|Elder Goddess]] [[Keph]], who in the [[Elder Wars]] had battled the [[:Category:Soulless Gods|Soulless]] [[Illith]], the Leviathan. Illith was cleaved in two by Keph and Keph disappeared underground with one half of the Soulless, imprisoning it there in hopes of keeping it from ever joining the destruction aboveground again. At some point in time, Keph splintered and the kepheran race was born, inhabiting the [[Undervault]] with no idea what could be found on the surface. Approximately one decade before the arrival of the kephera on the surface, the portion of Illith imprisoned in the Undervault splintered and the illithoids were born. The subterranean prison was not enough to contain the illithoid and so kepheran scouts eventually traveled to the surface of the Basin. In doing so, they discovered the surface-dwelling inhabitants of the Basin and realized they needed allies in their war. | |||
