The Eryis Breach Containment

With the blast, presumably and the sudden and mass death and utter destruction came the rush of souls, souls tainted with Void Touched manna, crashing as if stones against the Dreamweave and in such a high concentration, they pierced it. The sheer sudden violence, as if the wrath of some greater power on high, of these deaths meant it could only be one realm that this punched into. Thus a rift to the Blood-Soaked Arenas of Iracundia's realm tore open. Horrors likely began passing through the rift within the hour, though the Void is a vast, nigh endless realm and this hole was small but a small rupture even by standards from this side. Thankfully though the disturbance was seen on the horizon from Rydan, specifically from the Magisterium campus in the city, stationed near the city's southern walls and gates. It did not take the magisters long even from that distance to puzzle out something dark and heinous had occurred. They felt the sudden release, the sudden crackling of reality even from that distance, and scrambled near immediately, sending word to the government, rousing both city and federal officials, as well as the officers in charge of the military garrison in the city. By morning a force of two thousand mixed military, some thousand of them automotans and the rest a mix of magisters, soldiers and a few priests from the Temple of the Ascended, a mixed bunch, were on the march. With them however they carried something special, something that at the time was a scrambled after thought.

Magi-Cutter rounds, about a thousand rounds of rifle ammunition that was specially made, a core of lead and a thin alloyed iron and obsidian jacket. The theory was, and it was at the time only a theory, that this small amount of obsidian, potent stuff when it comes to magick, with enough rounds on target, could banish a Beast of the Black, overcome its hooks and tethers that it creates allowing it to manifest in a form upon reality.

The details of this four months are still quite shrouded in secrecy, the operation is heavily redacted and heavily censored. However it is clear that the tests were successful in that now, nearly a century later, you would be hard pressed to find a military that does not keep this pattern of ammunition in noticeable though not massive quantities. They are not standard issue kit, and are generally stored on major bases unless they are needed and this is in large part due to both the cost of making them, and the limited supply of true proper obsidan at any given time. But it would be a fair estimate to say that every major military has several thousand rounds of such ammunition spread out and stored at various military installations under their control.
