Now, all that remained of the star was a desolate comet - the hard, burning core of the once-magnificent sun. However, much of the destructive energy became focused inside the surviving core of Ethian, which then fell into an orbit in space that brought it near Sapience every year in the month of Sarapin, in a cycle known as [[Ethian's Crossing]]. | Now, all that remained of the star was a desolate comet - the hard, burning core of the once-magnificent sun.

Unbeknownst to mortals at the time, the star | Unbeknownst to mortals at the time, the star cum comet was rife with sentient beings - a race of [[lesser dragons]] of which [[Yudhishthira]] and [[Geh'shya]] are a part. As the comet passed the planet time and time again, chunks of it fell to the earth and became charged with and attuned to the energies of [[Necromancy]] and [[Devotion]], the largest fragment forming the isle of [[Polyargos]] itself. Yudhishthira, Geh'shya, and their kin arrived on the planet by way of these cometoid shards. | ||
Over time, these fragments of Ethian either took special shapes (such as a jewelled Sphinx in the [[Mhojave Desert]]) or became absorbed into the area where they had fallen (such as a special valley in the [[Dakhota Hills]]). Once mortals learned that they could affect these [[landmarks]] during Ethian's Crossing, when the landmarks' mother comet was closest, Necromancers, Devotion users, and their enemies and allies alike began to battle each Sarapin for control over them. | Over time, these fragments of Ethian either took special shapes (such as a jewelled Sphinx in the [[Mhojave Desert]]) or became absorbed into the area where they had fallen (such as a special valley in the [[Dakhota Hills]]).
