The biggest question we have to face is what happened to all the people of Ilshenar? Little by little we are finding the clues and we are amazed at what we are finding out: Knowledge that will change our view of things, Forever.
Somewhere around 150 years after the "Shattering" the most amazing thing happened. A Brilliant mage named Ulvol opened a portal between facets. The Anskitas do not call them facets, they call them Arktermar or "Hidden Worlds". Ulvol discovered that he could tune these portals like a lute string and find new destinations.
At this time we are hoping to find a record of how to do such a wondrous thing, but so far to no avail. The people of Ilshenar traveled between facets like you and I would walk to the moongate in Britain in order to get to Skara Brae.
This in itself is amazing. The question then is, where are those gates? The text speaks of permanent gates, called Vasgres, used for commerce between worlds. No one has found such thing. Instead we found these passages in books in Mistas:
"The traitors have been sent through the Justice Vasgres into the void. We who remain have ensured bal-lam imprisoned. The last Vasgres, at Sacrifice between the Arktermars are now sealed. Exsuring safty of our people and all who exist outside our world. We can live out our last days knowing we have done what is just and that we have restored Mistas.
To my friends who have sacrificed themselves, may Virtue shine upon you always." "(a word here is scraout) has taken the north tower and made it rubble." "(a word scratched out) has come. He is bal-lem, he seeks to be Anilem." "The bal-lem is in league with the Anorlor fiends.
Together they seek doom." "The eight have offered themselves to seal the bal-lem (A word scratched out) for eternity in the prison we have made. May Virtue guide them." "The migration through the Vasgreses is near completion. If (a word scratched out) will be held back so that all who wish to go may escape." Bal-lem is "evil one".
Everywhere it would seem to name this "evil one" the text has been scratched out. It appears that what ever the bal-lem was it is now imprisoned and most of Ilshenar has fled to other facets. This is a bit unsettling. Why if this beast were captured would they not return? Why destroy the Vasgreses between facets? Agian I hope for scrolls and books to arrive soon.
