 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.

 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. 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!

 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 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.

-=== 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.

 ===== Reform of the Tarusian Priesthood ===== ===== Reform of the Tarusian Priesthood =====
-=== 06/01/10078 === +=== 10069 - 10078 === 
-The church of Tarus, as of today, has officially opened up membership to people of any gender. Persons identifying as female are now welcome to join. However, it is recommended that such new members be aware that some of the more established members still hold some of their views, believing that women are not fit to join the priesthood. So while the doors are open to all, it is far from being completely free of sexism. The notion and feelings of the institution still makes it difficult for non-male-identifying members, just due to some of the mid-managment beliefs. +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?
- +
-Making this transition all the more difficult is the head of the Thoth Church on Cahyali, their equivalent of the Tarus Church here. High Priest Alphonse Granin has taken it upon himself to shun these new rulings from Jaern, and spread his own views and opinions about how the priesthood should function, which comes dangerously close to sounding like radicalism. +
- +
-=== 03/14/10070 === +
-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.+
  
-=== 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.
