	During the Second Shadow War, [[Asmolum the Worm]], once Spymaster to [[~~Lord~~ Inekkere]], uncovered the nature of the [[Yalaini]] crystal array that became [[Bael'zharon]]'s prison. He discovered that one crystal, recovered by the Yalaini on [[Aerlinthe]] after Bael'zharon's imprisonment was taken to the Nexus Facility for safe keeping. He learned there were six crystals total of which five were recovered by the Yalaini. The sixth was [[The Great Work]] at Frore. Through later investigations, he located the three Vestibule Crystals though he was unable to enter the Vestibules themselves. After these three were destroyed by the Isparans, Asmolum discovered that the final crystal, the "[[Shard of the Herald]]" was within the Ithaenic catacombs down [[Kelderam's Path]]. This knowledge was influential in the Dericost defense plans. Asmolum was intrusted to keep one part of the key to Kelderam's Path. But he was slain by Isparians and the key piece was taken from him.<ref name=ACWarcryDBase">[http://www.warcry.com/ac/apps/db/encyclopedia/73 AC Warcry Database]</ref>		During the Second Shadow War, [[Asmolum the Worm]], once Spymaster to Lord [[Inekkere]], uncovered the nature of the [[Yalaini]] crystal array that became [[Bael'zharon]]'s prison.

	* [[The Great Work]] was discovered by a young [[Gelidite]] mage named [[Frisirth]]. He found a beautiful, sparkling crystal. Over the years, he studied it intently. He found it had an unusual magical connection to the deep earth, a potential to draw up and store vast amounts of energy. By enchanting the crystal, the Gelidites could extract the heat energy from the ground. They bent their own energies to this task. The world cooled. Far above, where now new kingdoms lay, snow began to fall. Yet at the last moment, disaster struck. A human expedition bumbled into their lost city, and the Gelidites were forced to slay them. Other humans came in search of the lost party. They slaughtered the Gelidites, and destroyed their “Great Work.” As the malignant crystal shattered, darkness swallowed the center of the room, and a faint, eager chuckle was heard. <ref name=PY11/11> 2000/11 - [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[Should the Stars Fall/The Child of Daralet--Leafcull to Frostfell, PY 11 / (November to December, 2000)]]</ref>		* [[The Great Work]] was discovered by a young [[Gelidite]] mage named [[Frisirth]].

			During the Second Shadow War, [[Asmolum the Worm]], once Spymaster to [[Lord Inekkere]], uncovered the nature of the [[Yalaini]] crystal array that became [[Bael'zharon]]'s prison. He discovered that one crystal, recovered by the Yalaini on [[Aerlinthe]] after Bael'zharon's imprisonment was taken to the Nexus Facility for safe keeping. He learned there were six crystals total of which five were recovered by the Yalaini. The sixth was [[The Great Work]] at Frore. Through later investigations, he located the three Vestibule Crystals though he was unable to enter the Vestibules themselves. After these three were destroyed by the Isparans, Asmolum discovered that the final crystal, the "[[Shard of the Herald]]" was within the Ithaenic catacombs down [[Kelderam's Path]]. This knowledge was influential in the Dericost defense plans. Asmolum was intrusted to keep one part of the key to Kelderam's Path.

He found a beautiful, sparkling crystal. Over the years, he studied it intently. He found it had an unusual magical connection to the deep earth, a potential to draw up and store vast amounts of energy. By enchanting the crystal, the Gelidites could extract the heat energy from the ground. They bent their own energies to this task. The world cooled. Far above, where now new kingdoms lay, snow began to fall. Yet at the last moment, disaster struck. A human expedition bumbled into their lost city, and the Gelidites were forced to slay them. Other humans came in search of the lost party. They slaughtered the Gelidites, and destroyed their “Great Work.” As the malignant crystal shattered, darkness swallowed the center of the room, and a faint, eager chuckle was heard. <ref name=PY11/11> 2000/11 - [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[Should the Stars Fall/The Child of Daralet--Leafcull to Frostfell, PY 11 / (November to December, 2000)]]</ref>

			* The [[Nexus Crystal]] was destroyed during the [[Thorns of the Hopeslayer]] event. The Spires conquered by the Isparians held keys to the [[Nexus Crystal]], which was defended by an army of Undead and Shadows. <ref name=HistoryDerethV>2000/05 [[Heroes' Respite]] [[General History of Dereth Vol. V]]</ref>

			* [[Ler Rhan]]'s forces invested [[Anadil of Shakrassekor\|Anadil]]'s garrison at the [[Fenmalain Vault]]. The fighting was fierce and lethal, but ultimately indecisive. Reinforcements promised by [[Isin Dule]] failed to arrive. Ler Rhan, livid, accused Dule of treason. Before any action could be taken by the divided Shadows, the Isparians came into the fray again. <ref name=PY11/11> 2000/11 - [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[Should the Stars Fall/The Child of Daralet--Leafcull to Frostfell, PY 11 / (November to December, 2000)]]</ref> During the [[Taste of Twilight]] patch, portals opened to three large, previously undiscovered dungeons. The first, [[Fenmalain Vestibule]], was littered with the corpses of Shadows and undead. Exploratory parties moved cautiously throughout the halls, encountering isolated groups of weak Shadows and undead, apparently the survivors of a massive battle a few hours before. Large companies of Shadows infested the second dungeon, [[Caulnalain Vestibule]]. They appeared to be working at the behest of [[Isin Dule]], for they staunchly defended the facility. The last, [[Shendolain Vestibule]], was thick with powerful undead from the Direlands castle of Chalicmere and Aerlinthe island. Casualties at this dungeon were horrific. The children of Ispar attacked each of the Crystals in turn, and, in turn, each fell. Each crystal shattered and toppled, and massive waves of energy flowed across the face of Dereth. Some claimed to hear black laughter. <ref name=HistoryDerethX>2000/09 [[Hollow Victory]] - [[General History of Dereth Vol. X]]</ref> The Isparians swept through all three vaults, battering through both Anadil and Dule's defenders, and destroyed all three crystals. Again, the immigrant races had served as an unpredictable force of change.<ref name=PY11/11> 2000/11 - [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[Should the Stars Fall/The Child of Daralet--Leafcull to Frostfell, PY 11 / (November to December, 2000)]]</ref>

			* One last time, the humans acted unexpectedly. Finding new paths to [[Ithaenc Cathedral]], a tide of human warriors and mages flooded [[Anadil]] and his army. The old general was slain, but not before asking his attackers to take up his burden. “Don't let it end like this, young ones. If you must send me to the wind, my task is yours to complete. Protect the stone.” And so they did. An unprecedented coalition of Isparian barons recovered the pieces of the key, and set a watch on the catacombs and the terrible, hallucination-inducing black stone that hummed and spun at its heart. The stalwart members of the Shard Vigil repulsed several attacks by humans in the service of Ilservian. Frustrated, [[Ferah]] and [[Ler Rhan]] assumed human guise once more to contact the Dark Masters. Blackthorn, who had turned his coat and become a member of the Vigil, wisely disappeared for a week. Vidorian, however, sought out her aggrieved masters, and begged forgiveness for her failure to break the Vigil and the stone. On a quiet night in the third week of the Vigil, the two Shadow generals and Vidorian swept into the dungeon, driving the defenders back and shattering the [[Shard of the Herald]]. With a shriek that could be heard across worlds, [[Ilservian Palacost]] was freed. <ref name=PY11/11> 2000/11 - [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[Should the Stars Fall/The Child of Daralet--Leafcull to Frostfell, PY 11 / (November to December, 2000)]]</ref>
