It wasn't long before mysterious golden cubes were discovered in the [[Dardanic Grasslands]], and by the power of Feranki mages, a Vertani fortress solidified from these cubes in seconds. | It wasn't long before mysterious golden cubes were discovered in the [[Dardanic Grasslands]], and by the power of Feranki mages, a Vertani fortress solidified from these cubes in seconds. | ||
The Vertani quickly sought to ally themselves with [[Tasur'ke]], [[El'Jazira]], and [[Thera]], hinting at a future Vertani Empire. (Whether the villages wholeheartedly agreed to this "alliance" is a subject much debated among mortals.) Once again, mysterious golden cubes were strategically placed, and Vertani fortresses appeared within each town's walls. This was perceived by many to be part of a plan to annex our world to the Vertani Empire, and was met with great hostility, particularly on the part of Ashtan and [[Mhaldor]], who declared war upon the foreigners. Several skirmishes resulted, most of them ending with equitable losses on both sides. After one major altercation–involving a number of Theran soldiers, who had since allied with Ashtan in their fight against the Vertani–the power of the foreigners was truly revealed. In a fiery rain of meteors, Vertani [[magi|mages]] brought about the complete destruction of Thera, reducing the village to mere rubble | The Vertani quickly sought to ally themselves with [[Tasur'ke]], [[El'Jazira]], and [[Thera]], hinting at a future Vertani Empire.

The majority of the race's occupation forces in Sapience was decimated in events following the destruction of Thera during what is referred to as [[the Fall of the Vertani]]. A small faction, led by Commander [[Daqsool]], remained as guests of Shallam for some period. Gathering his scattered peoples, the remaining Vertani have built their own settlement within the [[Dakhota Hills]] and have christened it [[Tir Murann]]. | The majority of the race's occupation forces in Sapience was decimated in events following the destruction of Thera during what is referred to as [[the Fall of the Vertani]].
