A plague hit Sapience, forming in the manner of sludge in the rivers and streams, first seen affecting Ephialta, the Keeper of the Flame of the Zaphar. As she grew weak, so did adventurers who came into contact with the sludge, like Brandi Silverwing, though it was Blujixapug Lucoster who was the first to perish to the quickly spreading plague, that now threatened all of Sapience. Unbeknownst to those on land, deep within the Temple of the Sea, a single tear shed by Ourania as she had risen from the waters nine years prior was undergoing drastic changes. It grew, and pulling all the fresh water from Sapience into itself, it continued to grow, leaving the accumulated sludge in the dry riverbeds of the land. Once it had gathered only the purest water, it transformed into a young woman, Ourania and Neraeos came to the temple to behold their daughter...and Neraeos christened her Kastalia, proclaiming her dominion over all lakes and streams of Sapience. Ourania, knowing her daughter to be tired, took her to retire in the garden, but not before the fledgling Goddess handed a bulb to Greyda Corten, telling her to plant it within an enchanted spring. The Garden of the Dryads seemed the perfect place, and the bulb blossomed into a beautiful large, white lily. Using the petals of the lily, the forestals cleansed the realm of the sludge, effectively ending the plague, which began to recede. | |||
Shockwaves deep within the Granite Hills were responded with cries of terror as fire wyrms poured from a newly gaping maw of rock deep within Manara Burrow, and proceeded to slaughter everything in their path, which included any adventurers. As they made their way to the surface, it became clear to Sapience as a whole that this was not a simple outpouring that could be contained. More wyrms appeared as quickly as they were slain, and days passed with no end in sight as cities and forests together felt the wrath of the rampaging wyrms. Imyrr Rousseau had an idea, however, and calling on the master demolitionist of the mhun in Moghedu, they gathered the ingredients he would need to create the required explosives. A large detachment came forth to protect the mhun as they traveled to the maw deep within the Burrow, and laying the explosives, they sealed the hole and thus where the wyrms came from. All that remained was a crack that one could barely slip through, to head into Nuskuwe below, the realm of the fire wyrms, and other strange creatures deep beneath the earth. | |||
