This is an old revision of the document!
In the aftermath of the ritual the cracks in the sky above Rastaban were sealed. The incursions plaguing the city have stopped - at least for now. Above the Imperial Palace a new rift appeared, however - a circular ragged wound in reality from which ichor seems to drip down in a dark and never-ending rain. Rumour spreads that the mutations this new Ichor inflicts seems less random than before and seem as though they were guided by an unseen hand towards a greater purpose. Stories speak of people walking into the rain and emerging reborn. Others merely speak of the horrific consequences of doing so. The Imperial Bureaucracy have vacated the area wholesale…but where to? The skies - now no longer migraine-inducing to look at - are regularly striated with vibrant fiery light which seems to rush across its surface - but why?
In time, other rumours begin to spread. Some talk of how those on the verge of death with unfinished business are offered a choice, a bargain, to return with the power to fulfil their failed ambition. As these returned walk the world, starlight upon their brow, they leave a warped reality in their wake - as though something from the monstrous beyond is smuggled in their shadow. Others talk of a strange landscape deep within the plane of Erosion made of butterflies and wax.
Many mysteries. One thing is for certain - the City breathes a sigh of relief as the Bell of Endings finally rings again and its citizens can emerge back into the world. Whether the world is - or ever will be - as they left it, remains to be seen.
Things to know about the state of the world.
Upon returning to Rastaban the lie that the teleport homer was accidentally destroyed is not questioned too closely given the apparent success of the mission. Nonnus Ingerinus the chairperson of the council of seven at least seems grateful and smooths over any remaining issues.
Whilst what happened is not common knowledge yet in a rather startling change of tack no effort seems to be being made to repress the information about the barrier and outsiders at this time.
