In honour of Demeter's arrival, Eris hosts a festival, followed by a party within the Black Forest, where Chaos Tequila flowed like water. When both Eris and Demeter grew divinely drunk, Eris decided to play a trick, slipping Demeter a goblet of pure Chaos which the goddess unknowingly imbibed. Realizing what had happened, Demeter was not to be outdone, and slipped Eris a goblet filled with the primordial matter of the Green. Both goddesses then left afterward to try and sober up, only to find this mixing of influences had profound affects on their realms. The treekin were born in the Black Forest, while the Tier of Primal Chaos in the Great Erisian Pyramid was overgrown with forest, treekin appearing there as well. | In honour of Demeter's arrival, Eris hosts a festival, followed by a party within the Black Forest, where Chaos Tequila flowed like water.

The ones within the Black Forest were pacified, but the chaos that had warped them could not simply be undone. Through tireless attempts of teaching, however, they became sentient, assisting the forestals in their future endeavors. | The ones within the Black Forest were pacified, but the chaos that had warped them could not simply be undone.

As the courtship of Selene and Scarlatti grew, he gave to her a grand gift: The village of artists high in the mountains, Caer Witrin. As others marveled at the new village, Scarlatti met with his love in the center of the village, and producing a 'loves-me-not' flower, proposed to her. She accepted, but immediately fell ill. As those gathered and Scarlatti above all others fretted over his wife-to-be, he called for his sister, Mithraea, the Goddess of Healing. Mithraea confirmed what some already feared, that it was Scarlatti's proposal to the Goddess of Love and Beauty that caused her to fall ill. Loving one more than all others sapped the essence of who and what she was, and distraught, Scarlatti knew what he must then do. Leaving both her side and the realms, it wasn't long before Selene made a recovery...but Scarlatti would not be quick to return. | |||

A quiz of Achaean Lore was held, with Zenui, Delphinus, and Latus took first, second, and third respectively. | |||
Manticores attacked Genji, and after venturing into their nest to save the mayor of the atavian settlement, he was discovered dying in a small niche where the large manticores could not reach him. He tearfully admitted regret, and offered the adventurers a journal that would explain everything. This it did, such as mayor Gehan's guilt at being the one destroying the keystone that allowed those outside the walls to venture to the legendary homeland of the atavians, Arcadia. It detailed how he split the keystone, and what he did with the four parts, which a group of quick thinking adventurers recovered. The keystone was reforged, and with the group led by Garth and Asara, the path to Arcadia was once again opened. | |||

Eleusis was greeted by Tiglia of Moghedu, who had been out sightseeing around Sapience. When questioned where she would go next, she remarked that Bagwar's Copse sounded interesting. When told that area of the forest had long been overgrown, Tiglia responded that a shipment of iron had been sent from Moghedu recently, and the returning mhun had told of how peaceful the village was. Intrigued, those gathered left with Tiglia to where the area of the forest was to be, finding the path cleared and the peaceful village of Bogwar's Copse thriving in it's place. | |||
Storm clouds over Ulangi turned into a full blown hurricane as adventurers arrived, culminating in a rock slide revealing a small southern beach. As the storm subsided, the moans of pirates where heard, who had been shipwrecked in the horrid weather. While those gathered questioned them, a ferry rowed out from their intended destination nearby, to check on his missing friends. Knowing a way to this pirate port was in hand, many boarded the ferry to Mysia without question, this small port near Ulangi previously unknown, but now bustling with swarthy activity. | |||

A portal appears in the Dardanic Grasslands, Zenui the first to discover it and experiment with it's effects. By the time others arrived, the portal shifted slightly, no longer allowing him access, but instead pairs of robed figures began to emerge in pairs. One was slain by Rocktamer, though the fallen figure's partner quickly absconded back through the portal and out of reach before anything could be done. | |||

Silver light shone over the Temple of Justice, and from it the Goddess of Justice, Miramar, made herself known to the gathered throng. Among them, Aegis, Selene, and Makali were present. The Goddess of Destruction gave to Miramar the Sword of Judgement she had forged in anticipation. She offered it with words that may it destroy injustice and separate the just from the unjust. The Goddess of Beauty gave to Miramar a shimmering blindfold as a symbolic gift to the blind nature of Justice. That it strikes without remark to race, gender, or affiliations, instead being equally meted out to all. With this welcoming, she returns to the realms to take her place amongst the Garden. | |||
Following odd movements of the Blackrock dwarves, Mhaldorus grew more agitated with the city he defended, demanding they discover the Infernus Occulum, and sending them to Jirken the mad alchemist, who promptly sent them out to Vinia the Black. One long line of conversation later, they were given a journal, which eventually led them to a statue in the Northern Ithmia that held the necklace all along in secret. Recovering the Infernus Occulum, they returned to Mhaldor to put it to use, and following the visions were led to a small cavern the Blackrock had been digging out, without having any clue as to why. There, they witnessed the birth of the Goddess of Vengeance, Keresis, who proclaimed her realm to all of Sapience. | |||
