Initial studies show an unseen energy emanating from and surrounding the island and the public has been advised to stay away. +On the third day of the sixth month, a haunting melody was heard across [[settings:cahyali:vervand|Vervand]] as the island of Mordrik, which mysteriously vanished nearly 5500 years ago, reappeared off the coast of Vervand.

Adventurers are contracted by the government of Vervand to investigate. They left on 7/7/10081.
  
-//This is an ongoing event as of Spring 2024! Check back for updates.//+All communication was lost with the search parties until 7/28/10081, when the parties returned, confirming that Mordrik had been stuck between planes during its absence. It has stabilized back into Cahyali, marking a momentous occasion in Vervish history. The parties reported various phenomena and events, involving a strange eldritch entity that they had to expel from the boundary between planes.
  
 +By 8/10/10081, dimensional magic had begun to stabilize, and the anomalies seen with elemental and spiritual magic subsided. The topic of whether Mordrik should be fully reincorporated into Vervand was debated, but by New Year's Day of 10082 they decided to make the island an "Autonomous Administrative Division" of Vervand. It continues to govern itself while both Vervand and Ulos assist its reintegration into Cahyali.

 After the Ars Machina Incident was resolved, Zuanshi Hua was removed from office. [[settings:cahyali:factions#the_kinland_order|The Kinland Order]] soon sent a High Paladin to investigate the matter. This investigation proceeded for two weeks, eventually ending with an indictment of Hua's actions and a charge of treason leveled against her. The other Commissions voted to disband the Commission of Industry.  After the Ars Machina Incident was resolved, Zuanshi Hua was removed from office.

-The Commission of Raikougan was also disbanded, with Ruefang recognizing Raikougan as an independent state in efforts to prevent further conflict. However, it was at this time that the Ruefang Continental Army (RCA) went rogue under command of Admiral Nan Fengge, who declared himself head of the "Commission of Defense" and announced intentions to reclaim Juuken Island for Ruefang. +The Commission of Raikougan was also disbanded, with Ruefang recognizing Raikougan as an independent state in efforts to prevent further conflict.

 The three remaining Ruefang commissions denounced this act and the war, but could do nothing to stop the army - as it was mostly self-sufficient at this point. Civil protests against the war were widespread in most Ruefang cities save for Shanzhu, as were counter-protests supporting the RCA's activities.  The three remaining Ruefang commissions denounced this act and the war, but could do nothing to stop the army - as it was mostly self-sufficient at this point.

-In the fray was the Blood Hawk pirate Ryosuke, a seemingly unkillable man with enigmatic and terrifying storm powers. After killing Bakuhatsu Izumi, the ruler of Juuken,'s son as well as killing Kentaro Ryuji and slaughtering multiple Ruefang villages, a bounty was put on his head and a hit squad led by Kentaro Ryou, Ryuji's son, took off in search. This group reported their victory over Ryosuke on 8/17/10081.+In the fray was the Blood Hawk pirate **Ryosuke,** a seemingly unkillable man with enigmatic and terrifying storm powers.

   * **Ginkawa River Valley Battle:** 8/16/10081. Won by the Ruefang Continental Army, securing major river ports and establishing a chokehold over transportation and supply lines over Juuken.

   * **Tetsutou Iron Mine Battle:** 8/22/10081. Won by the Ruefang Continental Army - barely. As the Raikoujin army began to see defeat on the horizon, it was found that they had rigged the mine with explosives prior to the fighting. Just when the RCA thought they had run, the mines exploded, collapsing and burying an as-of-yet unknown number of people inside. The mines have been rendered impassable and inoperable.   * **Tetsutou Iron Mine Battle:** 8/22/10081. Won by the Ruefang Continental Army - barely.

 +  * **The Second Cloudfall:** 8/29/10081. During a battle, a certain magical event led to an eruption in the Raikougan leylines, destabilizing the weather patterns and leading to a second Cloudfall event. From 8/29 to 9/6, passage in or out of the Raikougan was impossible due to the hurricane, and a constant storm covered the entire nation.

 Others are hired on by the [[settings:jaern|Jaernian]] company Lithicore Mining, who has set up a headquarters near Tiancheng City in the north and seems to be importing advanced cybernetic technology developed off-plane. These adventurers assist a small underground resistance in fighting back against the company. Thanks to the help of these adventurers, Charles Lithicore falls and the Ranch comes under the control of its workers. Others are hired on by the [[settings:jaern|Jaernian]] company Lithicore Mining, who has set up a headquarters near Tiancheng City in the north and seems to be importing advanced cybernetic technology developed off-plane.

-Still more adventurers investigate the mystical side of Ruefang, discovering and awakening the five great slumbering Long, guardian dragons of the land. They also discover the machinations of corrupted spirits who may be tangled up in the Ars Machina affair as well... seeking to use the engine to transport themselves and their influence across Cahyali. They devise a ritual to stabilize the lines, getting rid of the corruption that plagues the land.+Still more adventurers investigate the mystical side of Ruefang, discovering and awakening the five great slumbering Long, guardian [[lore:creatures:greatbeasts:dragons|dragons]] of the land.

 Events come to a head as the Engine launches on schedule midday of 6/5 - however, every passenger car is left behind, as adventurers appear to have disconnected the engine and front security car from the rest of the train. Alone, these two cars speed ahead, and a fierce battle takes place: Zuanshi Hua, Charles Lithicore, and a coagulation of corrupted spirits face down the valiant efforts of adventurers and their allies, only to be defeated in the end as the engine approaches the leyspring. Events come to a head as the Engine launches on schedule midday of 6/5 - however, every passenger car is left behind, as adventurers appear to have disconnected the engine and front security car from the rest of the train.
