The State of the World

[Adhira]

What you know:

The Allanak forces were camped out of the old Kuraci fortress of Ten Sarak for some time. They have dubbed it Tek Sarak and claimed it for their own. Declaring that the lands of Tyn Dashra now belonged to the Highlord they marched upon the gypsies home.

Tuluk, not wanting Allanak to entrench themselves so close to their homelands marched after them, coming up behind Allanak as they entered the fertile lands.

After a brief parlay, with no surrender from either side battle began.  

While no one knows quite what happened next it is apparent that from somewhere in Tuluk a great and powerful force was activated, matched by a similar force in the Muark lands.  Who unleashed these forces and how is the subject of much rumor.  Great beams of light sprang into the air. As they surged towards each other the Shadow of a Dragon was sighted, swooping over Allanak, Luirs, Tuluk and the whole Known.  When the beams connected the land around Tyn Dashra was torn apart, great earthquakes rumbling across the Known.

The Volcano that once resided outside of Allanak disappeared, leaving in it's place a swath of soil.  Tyn Dashra is no more, the Volcano pushing up from its midst.  Those who were lucky enough to flee the fiery carnage ran in all directions, with a group of Gypsies seen making their way burnt and injured to the Kuraci gates at Luirs.

There are rumors that roads that once linked north to south are no longer able to be traversed.  What is no longer a rumor is that the days of peace are over.  War once again rocks the Known and the cities of North and South are once more foes in a battle for control of Zalanthas.
