Storyline
Shortly after the final disappearance of Skirnon Ryu from the plane, the avatars of Novea experienced a dramatic loss of power and reach. With fear being inspired in even the greatest powers on the plane, Mother Night's power grew unchecked. The avatar of fear spread her corruption across the plane, changing the plane's creatures, such as the plane's immortal nymphs being twisted into mortal harpies.

Escyf, a disgraced sundancer nymph, begins assembling allies to strike back against Mother Night. With the assistance of Ka Soma, another sundancer, the two travel across Novea to gain the knowledge and favor of Rylei, the red avatar of the sea, Aerolius, the blue avatar of the sky, and Terra Novea, the green avatar of the earth. Together, they help forge the world's first sword.

In the final fight against Mother Night, Ka Soma is cast into the Cradle of Corruption and left for dead. Escyf calls for the sun avatar Yrodu to give her the final blessing as she strikes down Mother Night. Yrodu fills the sword with the power of the sun, killing both Mother Night and the redeemed Escyf.
