5/13/21	438-03	Ayrell hosted a social gathering in Milene's Rose of Shard, where a Dragon Priest assassin appeared suddenly and engaged two of the party-goers. Although it was quickly dispatched, the adventurers present decided to take the fight to the Black Spire, where they encountered all sorts of Dragon Priests displaying various new powers, including summoning pivuh, volatile moongates, attempts at magical draining (which failed), breaking a Banner of Truce, and a strange, creeping blood.

Real Date	Game Date	Dragon Priests Attempt to Assassinate Navesi	Logs
4/8/21	437-09	Navesi gave a lecture on the Elemental Experiments at the Crossing Bard guild. At the end of the lecture, a faint smell of charred flesh and sulfur permeated the room, followed by a faint purple glow and a crackle near the stairs. Suddenly, a poison-tipped crossbow bolt was fired from the shadows, grazing Navesi's abdomen, and a number of Dragon Priest assassins appeared and attacked.

Elemental Experiments

Real Date	Game Date	Custodian Makes Pulsing Song and Lights	Logs
8/21/21	439-02	Mazrian invited interested participants to come study a voltaic custodian at the Zengmodaleth. The one captured chirped in an understandable pattern, which was carried through by the other custodians in the area. It also had a wire that pulsated in sequence, and it flashed in a sequence of repeating colors. Oddly, there were times when slight deviations appeared in the patterns, for example dropping a color in the flashing sequence. When Navesi tried singing back the tonal sequence, it gave a loud chirp and changed the sequence. When she tried again, it buzzed loudly, and shortly thereafter exploded. The scientists then encountered a group of hostile voltaic custodians and lightning selreks.	Current Events/Logs/08-21-2021-Log

Real Date	Game Date	Custodians Attack Again, Have Evolved	Logs
4/3/21	437-08	The Crossing was attacked by unstable voltaic custodians and lightning selreks. Grove Scholar Uryutis was heard on the gweth saying that the custodians had "slipped a restraint" and seemed "more capable," and several adventurers decided to meet with him in the Zengmodaleth afterward. He believes that the custodians are now a little faster and stronger and "some of their prime functionality appears slightly more independent." He also made it clear that he doesn't believe the portal to Zengmodaleth is their primary means of accessing the Plane of Abiding, and that these invasions are not the fault of any adventurers or the opening of the portal. More discussion was had about experiments that could be done to learn more. Related newspaper article: Custodians are Evolving, Slip Restraints and Invade Again

Real Date	Game Date	Custodians Attack, New Area of Zengmodaleth Revealed	Logs
3/28/21	437-08	A lightning storm struck the Crossing, and the city was attacked by unstable voltaic custodians and lightning selreks. The storm (and attacks) moved north to Riverhaven, then Therenborough. Finally, adventurers gathered in the Zengmodaleth west of Therenborough to speak to Scholar of the Grove Uryutis. He revealed a crackling orb of blue and green swirled lightning that transports people to a new area of the Zengmodaleth populated by custodians. He believes that Daervlan has allowed access to this area for a reason, that he wants us to see and understand something. It is a test.

5/21/20	434-06	Four Elemental mages, Perune, Mazrian, Saragos, and Navesi, guided by Grove Scholar Uryutis, gathered enormous groups of Warrior Mages and Bards in an attempt to open a portal to the Plane of Electricity. Shockingly, they succeeded, and a new portal was revealed on the Handsome Plateau west of Therenborough, a crackling ring of blue and green swirled lightning, which leads to the Zengmodaleth area.

Real Date	Game Date	The Aetheric Anomaly	Logs
3/8/20	433-09	Working with Grove Scholar Uryutis, Perune, Mazrian, Saragos, and Navesi gathered numerous Warrior Mages and Bards in order to thicken or strengthen the Aetheric canvas of an area, the hope being that this might protect it from extraplanar influence. The result was an Aetheric Anomaly that presented as a curiosity to many of the mages present, who each had his or her own perception of its nature. Some theorized it was a portal to the Plane of Aether, though it killed those who entered it. Over the course of a few weeks or months, the anomaly slowly shrank until it disappeared.

Real Date	Game Date	Uryutis Lectures on Aether	Logs
2/10/19	429-10	Grove Scholar Uryutis favored adventurers with a lengthy lecture on Aether, revealing much about sensing it through Othersight, its role as the "canvas" upon which our Plane is painted, and its ubiquity throughout our universe.

Real Date	Game Date	Adventurers Meddle with Aether	Logs
Unknown	Unknown	Perune had an idea of how to weave Aether in order to strengthen it in an area, and a small group of adventurers tried this in a private setting.

After having no luck in receiving Eluned's blessing in Aesry, the group sailed to a island temple and offered a stuffed seagull that the Ranger had fixated on in offering. After prayer, the attendees had a vision of a ship sailing under black sail to attack mainland cities and the seagull attacks ceased.
