Usaria looked across her creation, and gasped as she felt Garish’s foul presence in her realm. The elves cried out in suffering, as Garish’s touch marred them. Her creations called out to her, begging for help, but she had not the strength to intervene.
Fortunately, their suffering was short, for another god intervened. Titus came to Aether, and bestowed a blessing upon the elves. Garish’s evil influence was stunted and diminished, and soon forgotten altogether. The elves rejoiced, and Aether rejoiced with them. The lands shifted, a portion of the plains sunk and filled with pure water. A freshwater sea was formed, a tribute to the Imperial Wave. A river flowed from this sea, forming a majestic waterfall when it reached the end of Eos. But Aether did not wish to waste any of the water, and altered itself to save it. Any water that fell from the edge of Eos and to the bottom of the plane was returned to the top, letting it fall back into the sea from whence it came.

Grateful for the kindness shown by Titus to her creation, Usaria came to him in person, rather than send her herald. “Powerful Titus, master of the seas. Thank you for the merciful blessing you gave to my people, and ridding them of Garish’s curse. I am in your debt.”
“Titus, though Garish’s curse has been lifted from the Aether elves, I fear more strife will come. Armies of beasts and monsters are forming, and a storm is brewing. I fear it will soon break upon the lands. Garish is mighty, and each of us alone would be hard pressed to stop him. But Kryz, the Wandering Storm, has created a pantheon to protect that which is good in the planes. I have pledged my support to this pantheon, and will join as soon as I can. I invite you to join as well, so we can present a united front to those gods who seek to corrupt and consume all.”

When Aaron the Holy slept, the herald of Usaria comes to him in a dream.
“Good Aaron, Holy one. My mistress Usaria sends her greetings. She has seen your actions upon the mortal plane, your creation of the order of the Paladins. She sees that you seek to defend the good in these worlds. Usaria desired for you to know that you are not alone in your endeavors. Kryz, the Wandering Storm, has created a pantheon for the purpose of defending what is good in these plains. I have pledged my support to this pantheon, and will join as soon as I may. I invite you to join as well, for Usaria has foreseen coming strife. Armies of beasts are being formed, and soon will be released upon the world.”
