The Aerie of Winter’s Journey
At the point of the Fall, the Aerie of Winter was on a
mission to destroy the locus of the shadow realm in Treacher’s Folly. This was
the anchor for the undead.
As the Fall happened, magic became inaccessible and the
Aerie lost power. However, the fail safes worked briefly (before also failing). This
was, however, enough time for the helmsman to control the Aerie’s crash.
Kostelle (Voss and Olen’s sister) was one of the casualties of the crash. She
may haunt the observation deck.
The survivors of the crash moved across the plains (what are
now the plain of sighs) in order to survive. Fifty years ago as magic returned
(and shadow advanced) they retreated back across the plains. Many died in this
retreat (becoming the pillars we encountered on the plains)
Kirkoff (one of my less incompetent students) thought he
could open a portal to another world (as was done during the exodus). If he did
this, the ritual would have consumed him.
It was a bit of a shock to discover that the heads of the
Aerie were aware of the planar jumping. They kept this information from me even
though my expertise could have aided to an incalculable amount.
Ambrielle (one of Kostelle’s companions) was from the family
of Summer. She died on the retreat back across the Plain of Sighs.
Contacts were sent to Ascension after the Fall but none
returned. It is likely that they were killed as being Eladrin (who were blamed
for the fall)
