Arawyns Desperate Rage

Disaster / Destruction

Sometimes the best laid plans fail. A lesson is learned by all of the world, "No matter how powerful you are, there is always something greater". Arawyns champion is defeated. All progress on the world is on the verge of being undone. Arawyn makes a great sacrifice to prevent this. Arawyn had learned that it could effect itself, but at the great cost of burning its own energy. A great deal would have to be sacrificed to perform the deed it needed to... This marked the end of the First Age.  

Excerpt from the Book of VIM:    

"The world had to directly intervene and to do so meant to burn its own energy. This was both excruciatingly painful to the world and deadly to its inhabitants. Arawyn first tapped the energies of the forests trying, at first, to burn just a little but this sacrifice was not enough, the Nothingness would break free for certain. To contain the force from spreading Arawyn had to consume the whole of Glammermier Glade, all thirty thousand square miles of it. In a heartbeat, the Glade went up in flames, the intensity of the fire consuming the forest along with its ten thousand living inhabitants into ash, showering the world with a grim snowfall. This gave Arawyn enough energy to manifest a barrier strong enough to contain the Nothing, and this barrier was just large enough to surround the fiftieth floor of the tower.     Yet even still this was not enough. The barrier prevented the Nothing from moving beyond it unaided, but it needed to be protected from the foolishness of man. For this task Arawyn needed great strength and it had to tap into the Crescent Spring Mountains. The entirety of the mountain range shook and crumbled to dust. All of it destroyed, from the highest peak of Mount Harrenbrook, to the lowliest hills at its base. With it came crashing down the civilization of the First Born, never to be seen or heard from again. With this strength, the earth enforced the stone of the tower, never to be broken by any means. It also reformed the door to the fiftieth floor, physically invulnerable, sealed with ancient glyphs of power, unmatched by anything man made.   Yet still then this was not enough. Somehow Ammatoth had survived inside the Nothing and it screamed to be released. Its call could be heard across great distances, and so it had to be silenced. Arawyn needed to warp reality and so it had to tap into the chaotic forces of the tide. For this, it tapped into the forces of Lake Lyrindale. The enchanted waters dried up creating a huge valley. All the life of the lake gasped for air, and suffocated to death. The behemoths thrashed around in the valley causing thunderous earth quakes until they too finally expired. With this force, the earth folded the tower in on itself and inverted it deep into the ground, a thousand feet of solid earth would now muffle its cries.   With this done, Arawyn fell dormant within itself, suffering from the pain and would not watch the world again for centuries to come."
