[Detoxicated]

Year 177
Archdemon Chaos visits the Aetherials and is disgusted by their Order. He spreada disarray amongst the Aetherials.

[TamerVirus]

Year 177.1: A lowly merchant slugman hailing from Dalai and calling himself Nisvanis comes to possess one of the poorly understood arrow artifacts that have begun to turn up across the world. Given to him by an adventurer trying to settle past debts, the arrow was described as "a mystical vampire arrow than unlocks power beyond comprehension to those it pierces."

With trade and commerce flourishing in the Free Cities, nasicent criminal enterprises have begun to assert themselves in the more unsavory practices and businesses that tend to follow such a rapid explosion of available wealth. Wielding the power of the arrow, Nisvanis begins plotting ways to take advantage of the situation.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Centennial celebrations of the end of the Tripartite Civil War that ushered in the enlightened rule of the Gras Qhangan sweep the Sandstone Qhanganate. Assorted festivals, performances, and rituals take place throughout the empire. Setsenku orders the construction of a great statue dedicated to Ghazdrubaal "Whiteshell" to properly memorialize and commemorate the accomplishments of the departed leader. Scattered reports and rumors of a great corrupted army are dismissed, ignored, or deemed uncredible as the Qhanganate leaders find themselves temporarily distracted by their own hubris.

Year 177.3
After much toiling, Jothgar has finally figured out how to make paper out of some glowing blue fungi he found. With this paper, and using cavern mud as dye, he begins to map the underground realm he has entered. So far his map hasn't amounted to much, though - it appears he was mostly going in circles.

Year 178
As the affairs of gods and mortals turn and turn, the Dorathian Kingdom grows more powerful...And Warlike. Vast stores of minerals and wealth are used to fund ever greater armies, war engines, and more. There simply isn't much room for the highly urbanized and centralized kingdom to flex in infrastructure projects. And now with the removal of Ki, there is far less need to keep these forces all around the kingdom's territory...
Meanwhile, the powerful Grand Tyjat Shalzar plots in the shadows. An ancient and powerful figure, he is a pillar of the Dorathian Kingdom. His own past mysterious, some saying he was among even the founders of the state after the Shamites sought to limit the power of progress. All that is known is that he is incredibly ancient, presumably from some knowledge he gained from the stranger. This was...Partially true. He had sacrificed to the stranger a few times for dark and shade knowledge. Yet that was not the true secret behind his long lasting age. No, for it was far darker than expected...
For you see, he had performed what was thought impossible. He had circumvented the apparent banning of Ki. How did he do this? Well, it seemed he himself was among the first that studied the energy. From first experimentation to sacrifices to understood the fundamentals, he had learned from. And from time he learned something very interesting: Ki energy was sourced from the very soul, no, the essence of life itself. And as it was both born and innately tied to it...It can be brought from the latter.

Soon, he had discovered sacrificial arts so foul, using the lively as reagents to freely produce ki beyond his own reserves. Dark rituals by he and his servants granted a powerful boon independent of mere training or demonic pact. And when the gods decided to "ban" ki...They only limited the independent generation of it, for whatever reasons they had. This made the sacrificial arts the only way to replenish ki, granting Shalzar an even more potent advantage. Soon he and his secretive Hasasin sect moved to further keep this secret among themselves, going so far as to disguise their own combative ki use as seemingly born from "pressure-point knowledge" and other far less flashy results. This would only help their and the Grand Tyjat in their dark plans.

As for those? Well, through secretive means and methods, agents are sent to the scenes of the Godkiller War, observing for a time...Before contacting Velodryn  and his minions with offers of help and more. And the whispers of war grow, especially with the Rise of the 5th Dorathine, an ambitious Hamsterfolk eager to throw around his massed armies.

Year 179

A very mysterious Stand user, a man from Zalalastan, named Ron Paul who is somehow makes himself not swept into the secret Godkiller war that had just made head way last year is the premiere demon hunter. His Stand which no one knows the name of what has the ability to allow him instantly teleport to any where he desired within a radius of 200 meters.

Ron Paul used this readily to have immense advantages over the most hazardous of demons, often teleporting away from a deadly fireball or claw just to appear to the side or back of said Demon, then letting his Stand pummel the spawns of evil back to wherever Abyss they came from. His reknown became more and more larger as he got to constantly destroy Slugmen Demons that had even been around since Vahucci's first turning all the way from Year 101.

This soon culminated with Ron Paul gaining more and more followers from the lands he would travel through, of whom were all Stand users like himself. Some were Stand users who were burnt out from the horrifics of the Godkill War, others wanted to join Ron Paul to learn from him, others wanted equal fame, and some just wanted the wealth that could be gained from Adventurer. At a point finally acknowledging that he'd formed up some sort of group of his own, Ron Paul calls themselves the Katari. The Katari under Paul's leadership emerge as an elite fighting force using the variety of their Stands in unison to get any job done.

While Velodryn Kaas with his human Ghouls and the Vahucci Cult continue to fight their secret war in various villages, towns, cities, and even sometimes wilderness (where the two Stand using factions could go all out without being noticed); Funny Halloween, the current King of Arghila one day is learned of a startling discovery by his court mage Belethor Shirazi- Valkyra's body being Godly as it was were littered about in pieces around the world. Belethor with his advanced theorems in magical metaphysics realizes this key fact- if these "Corpse Parts" were all gathered together they could unlock potential unimaginable! The first original Corpse Part that Belethor had found that tipped him off to this entire thing was Valkyra's right hand, found in Belethor's back-house garden deep under the dirt.

Funny Halloween after mulling this realization for a couple days he finally decides. Arghila for years as of now as hounded by Zalalastan and Karhan for some odious reason. Funny Halloween sought to rectify this now that an opportunity had presented it to him, he had to acquire these Corpse Parts in the name of Arghila. Breaking at dawn with his small retinue of elite Men-At-Arms and leaving the Kingdom to a regency under his bestfriend Belethor, he sets off to acquire the rest of the Corpse Parts said to be around the world.

During his travels he and his men pass through a particularly treacherous part of the Qhaganate desert region. Half his men die completely due to the strange unbearability of the portion of the desert. By the time he and his men make it out of there completely to more survivable parts of the desert, they'd already be one death's door. Something bizarre happened however. He and his men from passing that part of the desert suddenly begin to gain Stands!

One of his men who coincidentally enough was the group doctor had gained a Stand that could heal objects or other entities, so Funny Halloween and his men were back up in no time. Out of the entire group Funny Halloween had not only found his Stand to be the strongest, but also bearing the strongest ability. It had the uncanny ability to allow Halloween to localize the entire area within 50 meters to his absolute bidding, with it only needing to recharge every 15 seconds of use.

He could have trees moved entirely, have the grass within the localized area turn purple, he could turn one of his men to frogs and turn them back normal again, cause lighting to strike anywhere he wanted to, spawn lava under the feet of bandits... It was the power of Context Manipulation. Funny Halloween deigned to name it [YRR] (Young Rich Royal) for this unique ability to command anything in existence or manipulate already existing things. Now he and his men were more energized than ever to gain the Corpse Parts of Valkyra!

Year 178.1

In the central square of the capital city of the Kingdom of Streamland, a half naked man covered in all manner of strange glyphs, sigils and runes is yelling and screaming with his hands raised toward the sky:
"THEY FLY SOUTH ON BLACKENED WINGS!!!" over and over again, until the city guard tried to apprehend him, at which point he cut his own throat with a dagger.
It was the third one within a month, each time with a different, seemingly ominous warning. It was dismissed by the residents as just raving lunatics.
It seems that while most cults left civilization to form covens and whatnot on the coast, it seems like Theyrn Elros' cult, the Red Hallow, never did and continued its operations in secret as it always had.

With the death of Ki, Theyrn, sly and cunning much like the Aetherials that he unknowingly imitates, seized the opportunity to increase recruitment into his cult.
As there was no more Ki, magical power was in high demand, especially among those who had lost something when the Ki was snuffed out. Those people found Theyrn.

Some of those people were inducted into the cult proper, some were fed to "Chaos" via the edge of a knife, some were fodder for their twisted experiments, and a few were sent out as preachers, like that poor fellow.
But only a few of his most loyal and trusted, would receive the "blessing" of Chaos, administered by Theyrn himself.
A little while ago the cult got their hands on a strange specimen. Apparently a fishing boat fishing off the coast of Streamland had caught a very deformed giant squid.
The cult managed to get to the thing before anyone else did. Although the cult didn't do much of interest with it, it seems that the Aetherials have been using giant squids that swim too close to their domain and get corrupted, as spies.

Eating, drinking, and merriment ensured until the Chaos Army of Hagatai makes their presence known! The Qhanganate finds itself caught in an ambush, as misshapen winged beasts seen only in nightmares descend on the reveling crowd. Setsenku and most of his generals manage to fall back to a secure position and avoid much of the initial slaughter and prepare to muster a response to this grave assault. As the Chaos dragons blot out the sky, who will be victorious in the Battle of Blackened Sky? <roll for outcome>
