Sensing trouble in the air of the Bloodwood, the elderly sage made way to the temple ruins. Once there, he came upon Volka and all seemed fine. Upon Teani's arrival, however, danger finally revealed itself - a chaos rift. Panic started and many people were called to the place, trying to figure out a way to collapse it.
The sage remembered ways of the old, noting how these rifts were able to be closed in the past. Aishia was the first to try to exocise the rift and found herself capable in destroying it, bringins some relief to those gathered. But where there is one rift, there are always more. Soon, the Bloodwood was found to be riddled with them. Rivas, Mariena, and Aryanne were among those fighting to take down the rifts as quickly as they could. The combined efforts of sapping, sanctifying, and exocising seemed to be working well.
Some took to simply further investigation, such as Draiman. Some people, including the Indorani, decided that the Aztob should be defended - that their rifts being opened should be something they support. The Indorani stood their ground, fighting off any who might come to close the rifts. This just rallied those that oppose the rifts, causing more and more of them to try to see them ended.
However, the rifts started to come faster and spread - finding their way into nearby areas within the Vashnar Mountains, Festering Wastes, and Bastion of Illdon. Can they be stopped completely, or is there more to still be seen from the rifts? Only time will tell.
