After a pause, the Arkylon continued.

“It is true that, in our current times, great forces are at work. The fight for the control of the Islands’ Flow is an unprecedented conflict. For centuries, the college of the Ruby has exerted its considerable power to undermine the influence of the Islands’ deities. The College has undoubtedly eroded the power of the matriarchs. It even weakened that of our own Order, until it finally chased us away. The high mages of the Crimson Tower have concentrated the power of the Flow in their hands, and with that power they built the city of Gwarystan up to its current state of magnificence.

But there was a time when things were different. The Islands’ Flow used to circulate freely across the Islands. Created by the Gods and the deities, it could be found mostly in gemstones but also in natural surroundings. Its energy was available to all Elves, in accordance with their inherent abilities. The Gods had designed it so.

The College of the Ruby changed the order of things. First, they requested the Elves of the kingdom pay a tribute in exchange for the protection of the king’s rune. This tribute was their own just share of the Islands’ Flow. Not content with depriving the Gwarystan Elves of the benefits of Oron’s forces, the high mages found a way to distort and imprison those forces, to greatly limit its circulation, to the extent that the very source is now threatening to run dry.

Somehow, the college of the Ruby has recently gotten hold of a very rare material that has the unique property of trapping the Flow. A material that can contain it was previously thought inconceivable. Dark must have been the heart of the alchemist who unveiled that mighty secret…

What you are experiencing in Cumberae is the consequence of this most perilous finding.”
