Instead of despairing, Gorob ordered his people to quicken their building. What should have taken a year to complete was done in a month, for Glomborolum forsook all else except the completion of the Edifice of Power. Yet even that was barely time enough, for just moments before the spire was completed, Illith crashed into the outer reaches of Glomborolum. With destruction raining down, Gorob stood at the pinnacle of the Spire and uttered words of power, while all the merian below channelled energy into the magical construct. | Instead of despairing, Gorob ordered his people to quicken their building.

Her body encircled the globe and gave a great spasm, causing earthquakes to wrack throughout the lands of Lusternia. But Illith was a Soulless One, forged from the fires of the Elder Wars, and she would not be easily cowed. | Throwing sphere after sphere of liquid power at Illith, Gorob was intent on saving his people from the Soulless One's wrath.
