===The Destruction of Stavenn=== | ===The Destruction of Stavenn=== | ||
In the month of Ultio, in the year 125 AM, [[Moradeim]] laid low in its orbit, revealing leylines of [[Diachaim]] in weaving patterns all throughout Aetherius, which flared up with energy as the Moon of Change came so near to the ground. The High Priest of Moradeim traveled to the [[Lost Forest]], where an intersection of leylines pulsed more strongly than anywhere else. | |||
As the nature of the leylines was explained to those who gathered around him, it became clear that the leylines could be influenced with shards from the [[World Core]]. A particularly unstable intersection was discovered in the [[Ravana Gorge]] near the city of Stavenn, and a battle for control over it broke out almost instantly. | |||
In a desperate attempt to distract the forces of Magick and Anti-Magick, Kabaal Lynne released the plague of the Nephilim, which quickly wreaked havoc upon the countryside of Stavenn. Antioch, whose forces remained locked in battle with Stavenn, was undeterred by the plague, but soon the intersection was fully attuned to the energies of the Demonic faction. | |||
[[Flagg]], a prominent Malignist in the city, summoned a group of citizens to perform a ritual that, if successful, could harness the power of the unstable leyline intersection for the glory of the Republic. Ihsan Nessaja, Caelya Talmarian, Arutha Con'Doin, Etienne A'thenelle, Ayden, and Lartus worked to perform the ritual, but lost control of the leylines. The veil between the [[Prime Material Plane|physical realm]] and the [[demonic realm]] thinned and a horde of demons manifested within the heart of the city, quickly destroying everything they touched. Intense and powerful fires broke out all throughout the streets, turning some of the oldest structures in all of Aetherius into mere piles of rubble and ash. | |||
