The destruction of the Fallen God's Shard, accomplished by Crhono and Sereda in the Pit of Dusk, was an act that resonated beyond what they themselves could anticipate. The impact of that action spread like an invisible ripple through the fabric of the world, reaching forgotten and hidden places where other remnants of the fallen god were sealed.
Though these shards possessed no consciousness, their connection to the primordial essence they shared allowed them to sense the change. It was a whisper in the void, an echo of something that no longer existed.
A sealed shard rested in a crystal temple in a vast tundra, buried beneath miles of perpetual ice. Its normally dormant energy began to vibrate faintly as if answering a distant call. The magical symbols covering the temple's walls glowed for an instant before fading again, reinforced by the barrier that kept them intact.
