9168: The Gruxand Incident (“The Soul Scourge”)

Steel Realms

CY 8-9-9168 > The Necromancer Gruxand, of Vale Evander, discovers a new means of eternal life (lichdom?). The memories of tens of millions of dead souls going back in time are released all over Helca, killing many – 20% on average of the population dies in Steel Realms (continent of Ustermaya); Umbak suffers very little, and Gwinn (Seabourne Isles) only suffer about 10% loss. Sayvalod/Forlad the western continent suffers a 40% population loss. Bodies lie where they fell, their faces frozen in death from the death-memories of all the souls pouring through their mind.

It is thought that there are missing years in the timeline due to strange bendings of life and death.

  • Omsara Steel Souls no longer produced
  • Umbak rides to Dunstrands Aid in Crestwold.
  • Gwinn takes a greater offensive role in the chaos
