Shockwaves deep within the Granite Hills were responded with cries of terror as fire wyrms poured from a newly gaping maw of rock deep within Manara Burrow, and proceeded to slaughter everything in their path, which included any adventurers. As they made their way to the surface, it became clear to Sapience as a whole that this was not a simple outpouring that could be contained. More wyrms appeared as quickly as they were slain, and days passed with no end in sight as cities and forests together felt the wrath of the rampaging wyrms. Imyrr Rousseau had an idea, however, and calling on the master demolitionist of the mhun in Moghedu, they gathered the ingredients he would need to create the required explosives. A large detachment came forth to protect the mhun as they traveled to the maw deep within the Burrow, and laying the explosives, they sealed the hole and thus where the wyrms came from. All that remained was a crack that one could barely slip through, to head into Nuskuwe below, the realm of the fire wyrms, and other strange creatures deep beneath the earth. | Shockwaves deep within the Granite Hills were responded with cries of terror as fire wyrms poured from a newly gaping maw of rock deep within Manara Burrow, and proceeded to slaughter everything in their path, which included any adventurers.

In a ceremony held at the Shrine of Ascension, Sarapis called Maya back to the mortal realms, and just as he was formed of Ayar and Proteus merging together, so did he merge Maya, the Great Mother, and Makali, the Goddess of Destruction together, and transfer the spark that he held as the crux of all Creation to her, passing the torch to new Maya, the Great Mother. | |||

Aznahz, son of Morimbuul and the human Ravai, called Mhaldor together in the name of their Master. Sacrificing first Daitya, then Wulfen to read their entrails, he realized the answer to his questions was there, but just out reach. Next using daemonic magic on Wulfen's head that had been torn from the corpse, it began to sing eerily. Aznahz offered no answers to what this meant...merely stating, "So it begins." | |||
As foretold by seers all over Sapience, Mhaldor was called together at the behest of Sartan, who made his plan clear. To better oversee the spread of Evil, he desired to be split back into the two gods that had been merged to form who he had become, Shaitan and Apollyon. To do this, he required the help of another, and the past of Keresis was revealed, her being one of his Dreadlords back during the Chaos Wars, and having fallen in battle, he laid her into slumber to recover. Acknowledging her past, though as Divinity she owed him no allegiance any longer, she did him one favor in response to his in saving her life. Tearing the great stalagmite from under Mount Mhaldor, she cleaved the god in two, and from those two halves, did Shaitan and Apollyon spring forth, returning to the realms. |
