Haag, Maklak, O'ising and Hycanthus were found dead, their hearts cut from their bodies as two strangely robed women were seen fleeing from each of their respective locations, headed for Polygaros. Sensing change in the air, Sapience followed, and the women cast a spell to protect themselves as they carried out a ritual on the sealed Mirror landmark found there. Sacrificing the hearts, and one of their own, the power of the landmarks were focused into the mirror, destroying them all one by one as their energies gathered into the sky over Polygaros. The [[Birth of Destruction]] was then ushered in by the Red Dragon [[Yudhishthira]] manipulating and controlling the energy, the resulting explosion forming the the Divine embodiment of the principle of destruction, the Goddess [[Makali]]. | |||
The forests of Rheodad and Shala-Kulia were discovered by Evadne and Garth, respectively. But just as soon as the two forests were discovered, it became apparent they were cursed. Ghostly whispers pleading for help could be heard within Rheodad, while a malignant purple flame burned within the city of Shala-Kulia. Hidden underneath Rheodad, the ghost of an ancient Ashtani necromancer, Amphites, was discovered. And it was revealed he had cursed the land long ago, breaking the staff of Shala-Kulia into pieces. Regretful of his actions, he pleaded for the adventurers that should they do his soul one last favor, he would release his power over the forests. All he wished, was to see the spirit of his long dead wife, Carina who had died in Shala-Kulia. They succeeded in bringing her to him, and restoring the staff of Shala-Kulia, freeing the forests of their curse. | |||

For the past two years, criminal activity in Sapience had spiked. Every city was feeling it's effects from regional criminals, and while Eleusis turned to violence, Cyrene and Ashtan turned to cunning to shut down their criminal operations and glean information. Shallam and Hashan, however, had been funding the criminals willingly, and none of the cities save Ashtan seemed willing to share what they knew. When the dust settled, the mastermind Felisse took to public pronouncements, sarcastically thanking the cities for helping her acquire all the gold she needed for some further plan, and criminal activity promptly lessened across the land. | |||
