• The attack by the Coven on Suli'mira was a resounding success for the darkened figures, the destruction of the district leading to suitable land to be cultivated into a Ritualistic spot, the blemished land used as a focal point to breach the veil and offer tribute to Hel; rumors of a Marquis answering the call of the Coven spreading.
                                               
  
• An influx of contraband goods into the black markets and around the Tower of Aetius were offered to those in need; such as Fantasia to offer an euphoric moment of dreams within bottles or Mask concoctions that are capable of transfiguring you into another form. Rumors abound of the bold and desperate only requiring to step into Floor 6 to plead for the substances directly in exchange for something else.
                                              
  
• Time after the Covens return had seen an incursion of nightmares into the domain of the innocent's dreams, of haunting figures a consistent recurrence that seemed unnatural with their periodic return, as if pushing their host's minds to the brink of despair before finally releasing them back into the waking world. As if they were experimenting with just how much can influenced within.
                                  
  
• Tales of the insurgence of numbers within the Coven could only be confirmed, as a multitude of concealed, masked individuals regularly roamed around the continent inciting disorder and offering the sales of wares holding the blackened mark of the Coven. Those who were damned; emboldened by recent victories were freely causing chaos once more across the lands.

Quote:My exile has long been a question on my mind. Where others have thought that my actions were out of hand, I have long foreseen the plague of undeath that threatens Meranthe. I sought to separate ourselves from the damages Vdalion would cause, and I was cast out for it. With the truth now in the open, I have returned to ensure that Ryai'sumar and its people have what it always desired. Freedom. - Vycera Moore

Opting to stay true to those Sirenians who came to them seeking shelter, come Hel or high water, the latter eventually came.
