An ancient and powerful artefact, the '''Eye of Proteus''' was used by [[Valnurana]] and [[Sartan]] to create a vortex to drain the power of the [[Darkenwood]] during the [[War of the Divine Child]], forming the [[Fissure]]. Upon discovering that Sartan's scheme involved the kidnapping of the divine child of [[Eris]] and [[Aegis]], Valnurana stole the artefact, promising to use it to help free the child. | An ancient and powerful artefact, the '''Eye of Proteus''' was used by [[Valnurana]] and [[Sartan]] to create a vortex to drain the power of the [[Darkenwood]] during the [[War of the Divine Child]], forming the [[Fissure]].

Using the unique power of the Eye of Proteus to combine the powers of Their respective realms, the Patron Gods of each city created artefacts in each city of comparable power to the Fissure.

As such, the remaining five [[Category:Fonts|Fonts]] were formed: [[Asthan|Ashtan's]] [[Well of Chaos]]; the [[Fontis]] in [[Hashan]]; the [[Icerune Crater]] of [[Cyrene]]; the [[Cauldron of Infinity]] in [[Eleusis]]; and [[Daybreak's Mirror]] in [[Shallam]]. Each of these could produce a warrior who, being born of the same power that bound the divine child, could weaken the power that held him. | ||
After the War of the Divine Child, the Eye of Proteus was hidden, only to be mysteriously discovered by [[Dawn]] and [[Gladius]], the remaining members of the [[Luminai]]. They were found preparing it upon a lonely promontory of rock on the Shastaan coast, where they attempted to use the Eye to cleanse the realm of a [[Chaos Taint|Choatic Taint]] that had been inadvertently unleashed by Eris during an experiment that backfired. Despite warnings from the [[Gods]] that the Eye would be destroyed and their lives put in danger if mortals used it, they concentrated their faith upon the artefact, seemingly succeeding in their efforts. Light spread across [[Sapience]], lifting the Taint. | After the War of the Divine Child, the Eye of Proteus was hidden, only to be mysteriously discovered by [[Dawn]] and [[Gladius]], the remaining members of the [[Luminai]].

However, before the Taint was completely banished, the Eye faltered and fell into the sea. What remained of the Taint coalesced into a diseased cloud that lashed out at each city in turn. In response, the Fonts previously formed in each city produced a powerful Guardian that repelled the Taint. Finally Dawn, who had been broken and drained by her previous efforts, used the last of her energy to summon the Phoenix and bond with its spirit, before chasing the Taint deep underground. As a reward for her devotion and courage, [[Sarapis]] granted Dawn the gift of immortality, and she became [[Mithraea]], Goddess of the Sun. | However, before the Taint was completely banished, the Eye faltered and fell into the sea.
