Worldbreaker Touches Down
Disaster / DestructionAs the Worldbreaker touches down smack dab in the center of the Kingdom of Amalthea, the entire world of Raan groans and shifts. What was once the single, large landmass has been shattered into four disctinct pieces:
- To the northwest is the mountain covered Harar Bayith.
- To the northeast is the dreary demesnes of Yridia.
- To the south, the generally verdant forests and plains that weren't swallowed by the sea became known by the name of the vanished kingdom: Amalthea.
- And in the center of it all Mount Ventax.

Returning the Kitties - To the Canyon
Population Migration / TravelHeading out in a magical sleigh that can hold many people in comfort for the trip, the Solitar Souls set out to the Canyon of Lost Souls, encountering an Annis Hag and destroying her before releasing the souls of the children she'd enslaved. Finally making it to the Eastern Watchtower, the group stopped to resupply and investigate a cursed soldier.

Returning the Kitties - Through the Canyon
Population Migration / TravelResupplied and with both greater and fewer friends, the Solitar Souls made their way through the canyon, and by the normally-hidden abode of a powerful enchantress whom Amaryllis had befriended through their shared dreams. And then it was on to the Western Watchtower where it was discovered the entire tower had been slaughtered to a man. With relations already strained between some members of the Souls, Darla Nevaldbash volunteered to stay behind and man the outpost.

Returning the Kitties - Past the Canyon
Discovery, ExplorationTraveling beyond the Canyon of Lost Souls, the Solitar Souls finally made it within spitting distance of Frostfire Tower, only to be nearly destroyed by a projectile launched from its side. Finding that the projectile was actually a demiplane portal, the Solitar Souls plumbed its depths, fighting through elementals and oozes to the heart of it, where the legendary cat folk hero Squiffles had been imprisoned. Channeling his power into the Solitar Souls, including its newest member Eivyss, were drafted in a desperate battle against the nightmarishly powerful Adamantine Dragon Abersortiforax; a battle that ended with the dragon driven into the ground, the Solitar Souls triumphant, and Squiffles unconscious from the effort of channeling.

Frostfire Tower Catastrophe
Disaster / DestructionFresh from the victory against Abersortifax, the Solitar Souls made their way into the Frostfire Towers in time for a horrible catastrophe to cause the upper levels of the tower to be consumed by a terrifying planar extrusion which required all of Amaryllis' focus to stabilize while the rest of the group went in and through to fight the creatures within. Destroying the Ceremorph within and collecting its weapon to be used against evil, the Solitar Souls collapsed the breach and restored the normal structure of the towers, and things began to get back to normal, or as close as they were going to be with people as powerful as the Solitar Souls running around. Of course, there wasn't all that occurred, as their trip back required a detour through the Feywild which caused a changing of the guard in most literal fashion, as the previous head of the guard was propelled ten years forward for their trespasses. Beyond such silliness and time-bending shenanigans, the group also facilitated the repeated destruction of Azkedelia Distribution's head office at their own request. It is said that the smell of charnel is now permanently emanating from their walls, and numerous employees have quit to take up less dangerous trades such as explosive fishing or naked barracuda baiting.

Salvation at Cat's Park
Military actionFinally arriving in Cat's Park, the Solitar Souls only had a few moments to rest before they needed to chase off after a group of marauders who had sacked the town and taken over half of the town's population. Taking only a moment to take out a dangerous group of Land Sharks, the Solitar Souls rescued those who had been kidnapped, including the elemental who provided Cat's Park with most of its power and defense. This was helped, of course, by the fact that the kidnappers ignored the warnings of the denizens and got themselves attacked by horrid worm abominations. The rescue complete, Quar'es being released into its place in town was the only remaining task, but this was interrupted by the Nations of the Night coming back to attack with a storm of Nightmares. Though under siege, neither Cat's Park nor the Solitar Souls faltered, and while most of the Solitar Souls returned to the Zoomie to head back to Frostfire Towers, Eivyss and her friend stayed in Cat's Park to improve its infrastructure. Now possessed of powerful fortifications and battlements, Cat's Park is now ready to defend itself against the Nations of the Night!

Returning Fiszward
Population Migration / TravelWith the task of returning the kittens to Cat's Park finally accomplished, it was time for the Solitar Souls to make their weary way home. They picked up a powerful Skull Crab who was once the familiar of a wizard but was now a Cleric of Fluff. They helped members of the towers as the passed back through the Canyon of Lost Souls, and upon leaving it, ran into a powerful Water Primordial who was recruited to aid in the Defense of Cat's Park. They were once again accosted by the Nations of the Night who ripped a landmass to use as a floating island on which to trap and destroy the Solitar Souls, but this only ended up incurring the wrath of the hags of the canyon. They found pockets of Firedamp and Creeping Death which may or may not have been accidentally detonated. They befriended a group of owls who traveled with them for a time.
