 In the spring of 10080, activity of demon-worshiping cults around [[settings:jaern:ageron|Ageron]] ramped up, becoming more organized than ever before. It was soon discovered that the reason for this was an attempted invasion by the archdemons Barbatos, Astaroth, and Daruka: sibling fallen servitors of [[gods:rudri|Rudri]].  In the spring of 10080, activity of demon-worshiping cults around [[settings:jaern:ageron|Ageron]] ramped up, becoming more organized than ever before.

 As a revolutionary political party in [[settings:jaern:therhine:centralia:prall|Prall]] makes themselves and their demands for independence known, people across the world have begun to become more lax and "day-dreaming".

 Suddenly at the end of 10078, adherents of [[gods:osiris|Osiris]] across both Jaern and Cahyali found they had lost their power. Not long after, a planet-wide blizzard engulfed all of Jaern. This had severe effects on most areas, as much of the Sunovarm especially was ill-prepared for cold weather. Temples across the planet mobilized to assist the populace. Suddenly at the end of 10078, adherents of [[gods:osiris|Osiris]] across both Jaern and Cahyali found they had lost their power.

-=== Ishar Magaroth is Defeated, and the Rhine celebrates the Festival of The Tides === +//Several events of interest occurred throughout this time period. [[history:jaern:modernage:dead_mans_waters|They are reported on here.]]//
-=== 10/30/10078 === +
-A celebration rings out across Jaern, as the year comes to a close. Communities across the world celebrate the Festival of the Tides at local Natatoriums, as gifts are exchanged and resolutions for a new year are made. This year, celebrations are two-fold in the Rhine, as Port Davis, Southport hosts a celebration for both the defeat of Ishar Magaroth and holiday joy in the midst of what looks to be a lengthy Freeze in the Rhine.+
  
-At the stroke of midnight at the end of the 10078th year since The Founding, reports across Jaern and Cahyali are coming in, with communitie all describing a singular event that appears to have affected the entirety of both planes for a brief moment. An eyewitness statement: +As the year 10078 approached its end, piracy in the waters of the Rhine appeared to increase - with reports from multiple cities observing that the pirate crews appeared to be manned by undead! Adventurers were quickly dispatched. These incidents were found to be propagated by an undead pirate king named Ishar Magaroth and his widespread band of underlings. They appeared to be using coin-shaped artifacts of [[gods:anubis|Anubis]] to further their power.

-> It was as if the stars were disappearing one by one, something was wring but the people around me were busy celebrating to notice. I thought for a moment that perhaps this was some sort of astrological event, but then I realized the obvious truth: I could not see the stars because something was blocking them, it was moving and flowing all across my vision, snuffing out more of the stars in the sky until every last one was gone, it took mere seconds! And then I saw the black sky open up an eye, and following it were hundreds more, all looking down upon the planet, before a second later they were gone and the stars were back, and the Natatorium nearby rang the midnight bells. I swear I'm not crazy! +
- +
-Some similar accounts have been collected by individuals across Jaern and Cahyali. Mages' Guilds and Universities alike are looking into the phenomenon, but little headway has been made. +
- +
-=== 08/02/10078 === +
-//Headlines in Helmrest And nearby local news sources report:// +
- +
-> **//Scandal!//** +
-> Ladies and Gentlemen, things are becoming even more chaotic in the city of Helmrest after an unnamed cloaked individual reported that Professor Fatima Abiduan may be a pirate corrupting the city from within! Once Captain of the Guard Gorth managed to scrap together enough arms to perform an arrest on what may have been a dangerous individual, they stormed her office in the University, only to find that she was gone entirely. Not only had she disappeared, but the Jetro Research Center also reports dozens of sensitive projects and research have been stolen, as well as some of their best researchers and students missing as well. If anyone has any information on where this criminal absconded to we request that you file the tip at the Tidesquall Precinct at Helmrest. +

-=== 07/13/10078 === +
-//The sound of a far off trumpet was heard across Jaern; the source remains unknown, but reports from various Mages' Guilds around Jaern all confirm that the sound was heard at the same time.// +
- +
-Representatives from the Harena Trade Union of Cahyali have also reported across the Otherworld that the same sound was heard across major cities in Ley’ork, and there is a high likelihood that this trumpet sound was heard across Cahyali as well. +
- +
-An update on the planar collision: the plane that has collided with Jaern has been given a name after first reports have come back to the Centralia Mages' Guild: A plane-wide organization called the Albion Empire appears to be the main government of the series of islands there. +
- +
-=== 07/03/10078 === +
-Ports from around the Rhine Archipelago report in increase in pirate activity, and sources from notable towns such as Helmrest on Taegel, Port Davis on Southport, and Sunkissed Pier on Devimetra report that some of these pirate vessels seem to be manned by crew of undead. These concerns have led to the hiring of new adventurers to address this threat.+
  
 +The dispatched adventurers would eventually take down each of Ishar's men in turn, culminating in a battle against him and his benefactors, archdemons Kebeschet and Ophois. They were soundly defeated, and the Rhine celebrated the Festival of the Tides on the last day of 10078 safe and sound.
 ===== The Onrudri Incident ===== ===== The Onrudri Incident =====
-=== 05/28/10078 === +=== 05/10078 === 
-The Centralia Mages’ Guild has finally released an official statement about the planetary body that appears to have collided into Jaern earlier this week. While the information is still incomplete, we know that adventuring operatives have already been sent to explore. Luckily, it appears that this “moon” did not physically collide with Jaern in the cataclysmic sense, and that some sort of planar magic may be at play. +A large black object with a red corona around it, about the size of Onra in the sky, appeared. Onlookers began to dub it "Onrudri" or "The Black Star" and heralded it as a sign of the apocalypse. Temples and mages' guilds immediately interpreted it as a planar threat and sent adventurers to confront it. 
- +
-Officials at the Mages’ Guild urge others to avoid the “collision” site. The trade routes to Kratal and Geleia have been disrupted, but there are Neptunians working on establishing temporary detours in the meantime. +
- +
-The “moon” appears to be spherical, less than a quarter of the diameter of Jaern, with a visible atmosphere as well as land masses. It is now intersected with the planet of Jaern, similar to a bubble that has formed and extruded from a larger bubble. The orbit and rotation of Jaern appears not to be affected as of yet. +
- +
-=== 05/18/10078 === +
-Update: The Black Star has disappeared from the sky of Jaern after adventurers were dispatched to confront it. The plane appears to be safe. +
- +
-=== 05/14/10078 === +
-Mages and Priests are confounded about the astronomical phenomenon now visible in the sky since last night (Centralia Time): a large black object with a red corona around it, about the size of the sun, Onra, in the sky. News has dubbed this new astral body the “Black Star” and some groups around Jaern have given it the name “Onrudri” and are claiming it is the start of an apocalypse. The Centralia Mages’ Guild is already coordinating efforts with the Rougtero and Jersey branches to look into and find out what is happening. So far, no harm or change has come to Jaern, but experts call for people to remain vigilant and wary.+
  
 +After a confrontation on 5/18, Onrudri disappeared from the sky. After this, a strange planetary body appeared to collide into Jaern, though Jaern's orbit was not affected. It appears like this was some form of planar collision with Jaern.

-The crystal towers that were around Jaern all shattered, scattering crystal shards everywhere, which absorbed into the soil. This resulted in a revival of the Tarus priesthood, and the archives across Jaern were restored. The Tarus priesthood is still minorly disliked due to the reputation of suppressing and hoarding dangerous knowledge. Tarus gained two spheres of influence: Secrets and Subterfuge.+The head archivist of the [[settings:jaern:therhine:taegel:helmrest|Helmrest]] [[gods:tarus|Tarusian]] Archives, **Daeris Kelbelar,** was arrested on account of many crimes in Led of 10069. These crimes included murder, theft, destruction of property, breaking and entering, and conspiring against the city-state government. It was then that suspicion began to fall upon the Tarusian archives, which had been poorly regarded by the public for centuries: how deep did this corruption run?
  
-=== 06/08/10069 === +In early 10070, crystal towers which had stood around Jaern shattered, scattering crystals everywhere which absorbed into the soil. The Tarusian priesthood underwent a revival, changing their ways to be more open with knowledge. This reform would take time, however, and was not fully considered finished until 10078, when temples across both Jaern and Cahyali officially opened up membership to all people regardless of gender. 
-//A report in Taegel tabloids reads:// +
-> **//SCANDAL!!//** The previous Tarusian Full Archivist of the Tarusian Archives in Helmrest, Daeris Kelbelar, has been arrested by the faiths for murder, theft, destruction of property, breaking and entering, and conspiring against the city-state government. A trial has concluded, but his fate is yet to be determined. In the interim, Kelbelar is held under high security.+
  
 +Problems with sexism within the temple remained, but officials encourage the public to rest assured that these internal issues will be quickly and soundly dealt with.

 There is now a new continent on Jaern: the three islands of Ageron, Koth, and Gaea. Once a small archipelago with an even smaller population, the combined efforts of many spellcasters resulted in the mass sculpting and raising of land. It's expected to take a couple years until Ageron is developed and ready, but all are excited for the advent of a new land. There is now a new continent on Jaern: the three islands of Ageron, Koth, and Gaea.
