    A burst of amorphia saps the ephael power of the trolls, reducing them to mere mortals with bittersweet memories of the past. Blaming the gods and Selrichi in particular, they withdrew from the populated regions to found their own settlements.
    • Scene: Power Loss [dark] [Levi]
      Selrichi reels from the loss of the trolls and their creative energies. He advises the Jesophs in how to build fortified temples so as to protect mortals and gods alike from further amorphia incidents.
• The Coming Storm [dark]
  • Event: The Strange Light [dark]
  • Event: Vanguard Tempest [dark] [Levi]
    An amorphia storm sweeps over Idruit, causing unsheltered mortals and gods to change. The stronger gods sheltered their favored mortals, while the weaker ones took refuge within the provided temples. The link between the Prime Plane and the outside became tenuous, sapping the gods’ avatars.
    • Scene: Bloodlines [light] [Levi]
      Tahibi, the heiress to Chieftess Shaeleth’s uncorrupted daughter, waited for Hrundal within the god’s temple. When the storm drives the god to shelter, Tahibi attacked him. A long struggle ensued, with Tahibi finally driving the god back out into the storm.
  • Event: Razing of the Old Temples [dark]
  • Event: Raising the New Gods [light] [David]
    The mortals grow to distrust the old gods and begin to follow the immortal Jesophs. The effects of amphoria shape some Jesophs into vessels reflecting their worshiper’s desires.
  • Event: The Great Diaspora [light] [Keith]
    The mortals left unprotected by the gods were swept by amorphia and changed to better suit their nature. The warlike Kreshtar became orcs, the skilled and crafty Dwiran became dwarves, the calm and wise Elorii became elves. All scattered to the lands that would best suit their natures.
  • Event: Misplaced Priorities [dark] [Andrew]
    The gods were a bit too petty. They sought to force Kavasa to resume her guardianship of the plane’s skies, and she refused; things escalated as slights and stings and wounds surfaced, because of her evil work among them. They were so focused on killing her that when the Maelstrom struck they were too late to stave off its effects.Without the existence of the goddess, the stars she’d previously surrendered continued to ‘work’ mechanically, but the skies she had previously controlled are fickle.

Legacy

The Harnessing of Amphoria.

• Scene: Anuless Gathers Power [dark] [David, during Raising the New Gods]
  The Jesoph Anuless convinces her worshipers that she can better protect them if she can slay their foes with a whispered word. Her new power proves terrible to worshipers and enemies alike, and she gains the name “Breath of Death”.
