    The First Barrage

    For hundreds of years, scholars have studied Caleyo and its surrounding fragments. Several notible scholars predected that many of the fragments may eventually make their way down to Tellis'Tor. However, for as long as anyone remembered, the moon was shattered and its pieces never touched the ground. The only interaction the Tellis'Tor ever has with Caleyo is on The annual Feast of the MoonWeaver. On the second Corelda of Verdenage every year, streaks of moonlight zip across the sky, brightening the night. Some believe these are pieces of Caleyo falling to Tellis'Tor. others believe this is the night of the year where the Divine gate is weakest, allowing the gods to create a display of wonder so that we know of their love. However, on this year, on the second Corelda of Verdenage, large pieces of rock and fire, not streaks of light, pelted the northern continent, decimating the Kingdom of Glasshire and the Divine Republic.

    Denizens of the Underdark Surface

    Denizens of the Underdark, including Drow, Duergar, and Illithid begin to appear on the surface in droves as the fragments of Caleyo collapse subterrainian tunnels. The worst affected were the vast tunnels and caverns which exist under the Dragonspire peaks. From here, clans of subterranians came up and skirmished with the now weakened forces of Glasshire. A stalemate was reached around the border, as the subterranians were largely left alone as long as they did not cross in the kingdom proper, a fact that would not have been true if the Glasserians were at full might.
