'''437 AF:'''
'''437 AF:'''
Titania, Propasia, and even Caladriendra begin to speak of prophecy, leading adventurers to speak Propasia's words in front of the sacred elder trees, destroying them but freeing the forest spirits that had still been within since the events of Eternal Night. Lastly, they gathered around the yew-seed given to the forestals by Makali after her birth, as her birth had destroyed the Great Oak which once stood over all. The gathered began to chant, and the tree, began to grow. Propasia entered into it, and the tree was destroyed like the others. But Propasia was not the one who emerged from it. Instead, Artemis, Warrior of Nature, was born.
'''441 AF:'''
A new route is found by Adryn Keep down through the sea, allowing a new path to Shallam, and Riparium. As well, a secluded beach was found with an old man well versed in the knowledge of sailing, but unable to instruct others at the time.
A mage Gaderian loses his staff in a ritual, prompting a search for it. When discovered, he thanks those involved, and returns to his home by Lake Narcisse, now open to all to explore.
'''443 AF:'''
The Vertani of Tir Murann offer apology to New Thera for the Vertani's role in what had happened to their city. Reluctantly, under the counsel of adventurers, Angela, the mayor of New Thera, accepts and the Vertani commission a book of all knowledge of their race for New Thera's library. The book is delivered, and discovered to have nothing no one already knew, leaving the situation ambiguous. Further talks were held in Ashtan between Daqsool and Angela, the leaders of their respective peoples, however the talks turned heated as they both clamored for the head of the other, making that offer to the whole of Sapience. Tir Murann and New Thera are at war.
A firefly breaks loose of Arinas's care, setting fires in the forests of Sapience much to the dismay of the forestals. Arinas explains the jar holding it had accidentally broke, and the adventurers set out to Holly of New Thera to craft a new jar, eventually catching the firefly, and ending the rampant fires.
A crack in the Crystalline Circle's master crystal grows worse, the elemental minions which once protected it having left during Artemis' birth. The Magi House of Shallam grew more worried, while their tutor, Ariela went out into the realms in search of the minions. She was slain by a member of the Blood Congregation, who stole the Star Crystal she had been holding onto, unhallowing it for use in growing into a Master Crystal of their own. Ariela still wandered, and eventually fell sick in a coma, taken by the Circle back to Shallam to rest. Out of options, the members of the house began to have visions, which led them to Erinyes who began a ritual to pull their beleaguered tutor from her entrapment in the dreamrealm, chasing what was thought to be an impossible dream. Eventually, they succeeded, and as Ariela returned to the waking world, she clutched a Star Crystal in her hands, which was fed into the Master Crystal, restoring it to it's former state.
'''444 AF:'''
A traveling merchant selling false wares visits multiple locations around Sapience, while a band of disheveled nobles begins to hunt him down, asking about the phony wares much in time with merchants who'd been swindled complaining about the things they'd bought. Before he could be caught, he vanished again into the unknown.
A peddler was found slain outside of Caer Witrin. Though none knew his name, they offered him a funeral service all the same in his honour, and buried him within the cemetery there. His splintered wagon still stands in front of the village, and without his wares, Frida and Anais were unable to accept commissions any longer.
'''445 AF:'''
The miscreant merchant reappears outside of Shallam, and while those present call for him to reform his errant ways, those within the city find the same bedraggled nobles that had been chasing him before, though seemingly not caring of his presence this time. While they drew crowds and delighted in speaking to them, a heist was taking place within the city, liberating the poor jeweler of much of his wares. By the time the citizens realized what was happening, the nobles and merchant took their leave of the city, having been a distraction.
A wedding was interrupted by knocking at the Basilica door in Shallam, where a wounded wanderer was found, a former associate of the bandits who had made off with Shallam's jewels. He had formerly betrayed his band of thieves, and helped with the heist in Shallam as a means to make up for that act. When the heist was finished, they cast him aside with scorn. The people of Shallam sought forgiveness, and while they did not entirely trust him, he was the only lead they had to finding the jewels. Leading them to the hideout, the Shallamites began quarreling with one another outside on which way to proceed while another group with their own motives snuck into the hideout, and began to lift the jewels from the bandits. They were discovered, but unfortunately for the bandits, just as Shallam came in to attack. In the fray, the new thieves made off with the jewels, leaving Shallam empty handed once more.
'''446 AF:'''
The Buckawns of Forest Watch recover a seed that their witchdoctor makes into a rattle made of Dryad skin after an empowering ritual. All over Sapience, forests began to come under attack by red striped beetles, heeding the witchdoctor's call and the forestals responded in force. Unfortunately, the tide of beetles seemed neverending, and they were slowly driven back as forests were destroyed wholesale. A nevaharr, half-man half-lion, joined the adventurers when they finally cornered the witchdoctor, beheading him as Artemis was called to handle the rattle, believing it's seed to belong to Propasia. It did, in fact, as it was the single seed that contained the power of the forest that had long since been cut down to build Cyrene. Using it's power, they restored life to all the forests that had been damaged, and Artemis sealed the witchdoctor's soul off in Anachai for eternity as punishment for his greed.
'''447 AF:'''
Lord Jakarta of the Ivory Mark was slain at a wedding in Delos by a member of the Quisalis Mark, prompting a search for the one responsible. Eventually, the Quisalis adventurers helped open a pathway under Derillin's lair that led to a nerwork of caves with hard work of dwarves and elementals being overseen by Dakrol, the Swiftblade, Nevon Talkar, and Isiva, the Blood Maiden, who proudly claimed responsibility for Makarta's brutal murder. The moment of exploration couldn't last, as the Ivory Mark stormed the cave and the fighting between the two rekindled anew.
Both Agatheis and Mithraea return to the realms, though it's unclear how Lady Sol was freed of Slith's dominion precisely, there is no doubt that the Elemental Lord had a hand in it.
