During the year 360MA, Galleus, the Sky Sovereign heard the clamour of
His kin and decided that something must be done to fill the gap left by
Varian's continued absence. Looking into a strange artifact called the
Ark of the Celestine, He ascended to the upper echelons of Godhood,
leaving behind naught but the withered corpse of a grecht. With His
departure, the skies became still and sluggish, and Sciomancers found
their connection to elemental Air weak and unsteady.
Days later, a strange and terrible storm engulfed the northern city of
Spinesreach. As the Sphere of the Emissary exploded and wind, rain and
hail lashed the streets, the citizens gathered in the Spirean archives
to discuss their plight. Cabalists Ghada and Sneak led the discussion,
explaining that the storm was no natural phenomenon, being the result of
the uncontained spirit of Air raging above the city. A few intrepid
types ventured into the ravaged Sphere, only to be torn apart by the
raging wind in a handful of instants.
Without warning, Bokog, King of Hashan, arrived in the library,
accompanied by a pair of troll bodyguards; he sought an answer for the
storm that was ravaging the city and flooding his people's farmland.
Tempers flared, and before too long Lyl and Sneak presented the raging
Troll-King with a challenge; enter the storm and tame the spirit, if he
and his kind were truly as superior as stated. Not being one to back
down from such a dare, Bokog promptly entered the Sphere of the Emissary
and vanished.
Wreathed in lightning, Bokag's body returned with a vastly different
mind; the raging elemental essence had found his flesh suitable, and his
mind easily conquered and eradicated. Reborn, the God of Air took on a
new name: Maghak, the Sovereign.
Penned by my hand on the 15th of Haernos, in the year 360 MA.
