The Awakening of the Náir

Celestial / Cosmic

Whispers of War


The Well of Urðr restrained the Elemental Chaos where the two came into contact, and the resulting tumult awoke the Náir and set in motion the events that would lead to the Dawn War.   The Dísir urged the Aesir to take what they would from the Plane Below, claiming it was the right of the celestials, as wielders of magic, to shape the elements. Some of the most powerful of the Dísir descended to the Plane Below, claiming they had been “cast out” by the Aesir. They whispered deceptions, and found willing listeners amongst the Náir. The fallen Dísir enlisted some of the Náir in a plot to steal a shard of power from the celestial’s Well of Urðr. But the Dísir intended to betray the Náir, and use the Náir’s attack as justification for a war against the Plane Below.
