The year 250 AF saw '''Zh'risia's scheme'''. The [[druid|druids]] Istavan and Cev discovered the [[Aalen Forest]] in flames and its [[Tsol'aa]] inhabitants dead or missing. Guards hung from the rafters of their own tree houses, [[Celaabi|Queen Celaabi]] suffered from the anguish of rape, [[La'ramhis|King La'ramhis]] died from a vivisection by [[Kroul]], and [[Tu'eras|Prince Tu'eras]] was nowhere to be found. Following this shocking discovery, Kazin quickly gathered a force of [[druids]] and [[magi]] that managed to extinguish the fires and rejuvenate the [[Aalen Forest|Aalen]].

This incited Vexlore to announce Kroul's plan to harm the [[Church]] and the [[Tsol'aa]]. Vexlore was slain for revealing Kroul's secret.

[[orc scout|Orc scouts]] were seen roaming the cities, inquiring about the locations of the Master Crystals. Though they claimed to be on a tour of Sapience (a tour that wouldn't be complete without seeing the Master Crystals), their integrity was lacking as they constantly contradicted themselves. Finally, the scouts met Dalamar, who led them to the Warlock's Master Crystal.

Bambi stumbled across an [[orc soldier]] setting the [[Black Forest|Black]] and [[Aureliana Forest|Aureliana]] forests ablaze. The fires spread into the [[Savannah]] and threatened the lives of the [[Tomacula]]. Once the flames were doused, Darktalon questioned the soldier on the Prelatorian Highway, but Tarlin intruded and attacked the soldier, who fled in fear.

More strike teams of orcs simultaneously invaded the cities of Sapience to kidnap their rat buyers: Shallam's [[Hakhim]], Ashtan's [[Ratman]], and Hashan's [[Liirup]]. Hashan made an admirable effort to save Liirup, but were ultimately too slow. Ashtan and Shallam utterly failed to repel the invasion.

As the royal family's chosen hiding place proved unsafe, [[Tu'eras]] accepted the offer of sanctuary within the Shallamese palace. At about the same time, Myrkul found where [[Kroul]] had hidden the rat buyers and mobilised a squadron to rescue them. Though assaulted by a force of orcs and ogres, Myrkul's adventurers were victorious.

[[Kroul]] sent his own team into Ashtan to steal the Warlock's Master Crystal, which Dalamar conveniently located for them earlier. As the majority of Sapience was distracted by the kidnapping and subsequent rescue of the ratmen, Kroul's force removed the Master Crystal with ease. In the growing chaos, they proceeded to take the remaining two Master Crystals from the guildhalls of the [[Sorcerers]] and [[Magi]].

Amid the chaos, [[Sartan]] withdrew his patronage of the [[Infernals]] due to Raajin's sympathy toward the Tsol'aa. Raajin fled to the protection of the [[Paladins]] from the harassment of his former allies in [[Ashtan]] (notably Khalid and Lakissa, who slew him).

A mysterious being, calling himself [[Zh'risia|Zh'risia, the Dark Lord]], laid enchanted vibrations at North of Thera, slaying many as a result. Following this, Rivalyn and Yeshua convinced the [[Great Mhunna]] to sell silver to Rurin again, to aid the fight against [[Kroul]] and [[Zh'risia]].

Through the combined efforts of diligent Achaeans, [[Kroul]] was defeated and his identity revealed. It is now known that [[Kroul]] was a pawn of [[Zh'risia]], who planned to become a [[Tsol'teth Master]] by defeating the [[Church]] and the [[Tsol'aa]]. The scheme of [[Zh'risia]] was ultimately for naught.
