The Eye of Iodyne

Game Description

The Reclamation has failed, or well in as much as the Ebon Dragon was concerned. The Yozi thrashed and many first circle demons and human slaves were destroyed in their anger at the Ebon Dragon’s betrayal. Autochthon and Gaia returned to creation to find it falling to the reclamation and with the two Primordials returned the faltering lines of heroes were strengthened and stabilized. Once the Alchemicals entered the field and the Dragon-Blooded restored (mostly) the Five Great Elemental Dragons were roused and the Ebon Dragon was cornered. The Solars and the Lunars seriously wounded him but before the final blow could be dealt to the Ebon Dragon disappeared, no trace of his passing detected. It would baffle the heroes of Creation and the two Primordials on their side for years to come.

Ten years later: Autochthon with Asna Firstborn and the Design Weavers, have begun the final phases of the upgrades to the Loom of Fate, upgrades desperately needed if the Ebon Dragon is ever to be found. During the upgrade efforts an alarm sounds through the Loom and in horror the Spiders, Adamant Caste Alchemicals, and the Design Weavers watch as a 20 mile wide section of Creation changes! Creation has been invaded, and unlike the Fae who return Creation to the Wyld, whatever has come is slowly imposing its own Order and Causality upon Creation.

In Malfeas the Yozi still sting from the Ebon Dragon’s betrayal and now the new Solar Order has imposed new rules upon the Prison, but with the deterioration of the South, Malfeas himself has felt the taint of this order as it seeps into his being. Terrified of what this means the Yozi send their Emissary to Yu Shan to ask for help. To the surprise of Creation, the Jouten of all the Yozi have been allowed to roam Yu Shan, as long as they are willing to help Creation the Unconquered Sun will allow them a small reprieve. This has caused caution to roam across Yu Shan and its corrupted elements. With the Sidereals just now recovering from the massacre that killed most of them, the Loom remains blocked to all of them. The Games of Divinity are for the time being accessible to the damaged Primordials and its enough to keep the crazed tendencies of Yozi calm in the face of this new threat.

Unseen by those that tend the Loom, the Nocturnals have begun to return. And the mad whispering of Nox has brought some of them to the Blessed Isle. Here they have been guided to join the efforts to learn what it is exactly that threatens Creation.

In Malfeas the demons are recovering from the betrayal, the lowest of them tip toe around their grand masters. The Infernals beaten and also betrayed question all they have done. Only a few remain loyal to the Ebon Dragon and secretly plan to find him. Emotions run hot and hard however and some Infernals take out their frustrations in their home realm. Lillian was freed from her misery but didn't survive the next few days despite Solar Level healing abilities, in her place was left the Wondrous Gift of Infernal Power, a device that currently maintains and stores Infernal Exaltations.

The Underworld is falling apart, as the Order in creation starts its unknown transformation the Underworld starts to transform. The Ghosts start to turn into hard lifeless statues, the grey of the Underworld is turning to a black, Oblivion's Whispers have started to weaken but Oblivion itself has started to roar and strengthen its pull. Stygian trembles as its force grows. The Neverborn are silent surprising about this leaving the Deathlords to wonder what to do. The First and Forsaken Lion took the hardest hit in the Infernal betrayal, his forces greatly diminished and now he himself is the first of the 13 that is starting to show signs of this Order’s transformation, it frightens him greatly. The Mask of Winters who lost Thorns desires nothing more to regain what was lost, and many of the others start planning anew, however a few believe that the Silence of the Neverborn is nothing more than the Neverborn being finally removed, they can now do whatever they want. And yet this Order frightens them, what will it transform them into?

The awakening of the Great Maker was unanticipated by the people that lives inside him. While his paranoia had grown to unpredictable heights the knowledge of the Ebon Dragon’s escape filled him with dread. Releasing the Seal he strode into Creation finding Gaia tending to the enslaved Scarlet Empress and together the two primordials held the Ebon Dragon at bay. The Alchemicals and the dragonblood went to battle with the Ebon Dragon and soon joined by the battered Solars and Lunars. Ten years later the Alchemicals have stayed with Autochthon working hard to cure him of the Void, some have entered and settled in Creation, a new order with them has been created and the Alchemicals have learned that not everything in Creation’s current Order is friendly to Autocthonia. Nonetheless they are an accepted group in Creation. Unfortunately Autochthon’s Design and the Alchemicals cannot feel Creation’s new Order corrupt the South, Malfeas, and the Underworld.

During the Reclamation Solars were hunted some converted but they and Lunars were soon pushed beyond their limits. Without the Sidereals who were nearly annihilated by the Ebon Dragon and his Infernals and the Dragonblooded they found themselves unable to win against their foes, that became even worse with the Sun dimmed and the Solar power weakened. When Autochthon and Gaia came the sun returned to normal and the Lunars and Solars were soon joined by loyal Dragonblooded and a few helpful fae and they raced to destroy the Ebon Dragon, to cast him into Oblivion itself if need be, but when he vanished the Solars and Lunars felt relieved. Creation now mends or rather it was, nations were restored (mostly), the Solars now lead the new Solar Order, the Lunars continue to mend their territories, the dragonblooded are allowed to rule the Realm under guidance from the Solars. The Scarlet Empress repents her sins as now a Soul of Gaia always to remember and never able to die for it. Trouble is never far, raiders are returning to take advantage of weakened unmonitored areas. But the South suffers, Essence power weakens, Manses stop to functioning, gods are statues at the boundary of this strong yet corruptible order, the unease tears at the populace.
