The Crisis came without any warning, and even today it remains a mystery as to just what happened, at least from a certain perspective. At the end of the Regalian-Arloran War, | The Crisis came without any warning, and even today it remains a mystery as to just what happened, at least from a certain perspective. At the end of the Regalian-Arloran War, the Arloran king and his royal guards, were being escorted to the Regalian Base Camp, having lost the Battle of Adelaar Cliffs, his levies that survived also being organized for capture. The quiet was broken as [[Wyvern]]-riding [[Isldar]] came out of the clouds and tried to attack him, shouting in their native tongue. Regalian cannon fire from nearby ships and the top of the cliff easily shot them all down, but in the confusion, the King said something under his breath. Suddenly, the colossal statue that had appeared at the [[Battle of Curag Fields]], claiming itself to be Estel, appeared before him. The statue then used her Magic to transform and warp the king and his companions, raising them up into the air while simultaneously vaporizing anyone who dared attack or got too close to the proceedings. | ||
Her willing victims became [[Nelfin]]-looking creatures with pale skin, long ears, and bald heads, landing on their feet and proclaiming themselves the Midnight Court. With this declaration complete, Estel sent a massive beam of energy into the sky that filled the clouds with lightning, the bright beams of crackling energy shooting away across the sky in the direction of several of major continents. Estel and the Midnight Court then vanished, a silence echoing as everyone paused. Unfortunately, elsewhere in the world, there was no such pause. Out of the sky in [[Farah’deen]], several areas of [[Daen]], [[Nordskag]], [[Hadaria]], [[Fendarfelle]], and [[Etosil]], came meteorite-like lights falling to earth. When these lights made contact with the earth, all bones, and flesh, from creatures long dead to recently descended people in graveyards, rose and formed into hideous bone and flesh amalgamations, beginning their attack on the world of the living. | Her willing victims became [[Nelfin]]-looking creatures with pale skin, long ears, and bald heads, landing on their feet and proclaiming themselves the Midnight Court.
