With the decanter missing, Miramar's power began to fade. About this time, a priest shouted for help in Azdun, sealed in a strange laboratory in chains. While the Shallamese attempted to help the priest, the Mhaldorians that arrived proved too much to bear, killing the priest before he could be freed of his chains. Praying for salvation, the brown robed priest went to Shallam to offer his assistance. Miramar's order had been plagued by visions since before the decanter had been stolen, one foretelling of a brown robed priest who would help their beleaguered Goddess. After asking much of the Shallamese, he eventually concocted a potion using a vial of blood marked with Miramar's symbol found in the same laboratory he had been, and told her Order to offer it on the altar of her temple to their Goddess to save her. As they did so, the altar quickly became corrupted, and learning the priest had been betraying them all along, they quickly slew the man, who rose as a lich and escaped through a portal to Mhaldor. But the damage had already been done amidst Miramar's shouts of his betrayal, and the Temple of Justice exploded from the corruption, killing all of those within. | With the decanter missing, Miramar's power began to fade.

The destruction of the temple would not be the end, however. Awakening from the coma the explosion had put her in, the now blind Calanthia led those of Miramar's Order to the site of the Master Shrine of Miramar, and excavation began immediately to clear it out and sanctify the temple. As they did so, the demi-lich, along with Slith, began to stalk the temple, seeking out Miramar and knowing her to be nearby. The forces of Good descended upon them when they saw, and through a fierce battle, sent the undead running and recovered the decanter. Knowing what they must do, her order set to work on a ritual to help their goddess. This ritual was interrupted by a Mhaldorian raid, and though many lives were lost on both sides, the attack was repelled and the decanter remained in Good's control. Finishing their ritual wearily, the assembled passed through the portal it created to a plane called Miranus, and finding their sleeping goddess there, returned the decanter to her very being. The combined essence of the Divine of Good helping to heal the sickness that had befallen her. The Goddess of Justice returned to the land, she informed Mhaldor, and Slith, of her intent to make them suffer for their wrongdoings. | |||
