In the year 798 AF a series of earthquakes rocked the continent of Sapience to its foundations. These earthquakes were the result of an unknown assailant assisting the Tsol'teth in weakening the barrier to the Underrealm. After Ama-maalier rose to be the first Avatar of Tlalaiad, she wielded enough power to destroy the barrier and let the tides of war infect Sapience once again. After their escape from the Underrealm the Tsol'teth imminently demanded a number of Adventurers and Guardians from five of the six city-states, all except Eleusis, to take samples to strengthen their lines. | In the year 798 AF a series of earthquakes rocked the continent of Sapience to its foundations.

After | After refusing their demands, Cyrene was besieged and occupied by the Tsol'teth for the entirety of the year 799 AF. After Cyrene fell, the Tsol'teth offered alliances to the other cities. Both Hashan and Targossas accepted their proposal, along with the Mhun of Moghedu. With their new allies they made a large scale assault upon Ashtan and Mhaldor. Joined by the Tsol'teth commanders, Targossas battled against the former, while Hashan and Moghedu besieged the latter. Both attacks were unsuccessful in their primary purpose of capturing the city guardians, but both city fonts were destroyed in the chaos. | ||
Meanwhile, the Cyrenian Resistance had hatched a plot to take back their own, with the help of the wizard Hycanthus. In the course of employing homemade explosives from the mage, the resistance unexpectedly freed an underground river within the Vashnar mountains, the [[Shuun'eludiela]]. Along with the [[Bairn Muurn]] they flooded the occupied city to assist the Resistance's efforts to take it back. The battle climaxed when the Tsol'teth, [[Hailqas'an]], snapped and cried a lament of destruction which brought down the Cyrene Clock-tower and damaged many other buildings thorough the valley. | |||

They took that opportunity to declare themselves the new hosts of the Championship Games. The catch was that participants had to provide a sample to help advance the lines of the Tsol'teth. The games were played by many and boycotted by some. Afterwards many Gods reminded Tlalaiad of their 'agreement' and the Tsol'teth and their Tide once again returned to the Underrealm, though no longer as prisoners. | ||
