As the strange icy weather worsened, the comets kept pelting the Basin
of Life, releasing ice larva which through several stages of growth grew
into hideous creatures known as the ice devils. As crops began to wither
and the cold began to take its toll, the ice devils began to spread
throughout the land. Some believed they were invading to conquer the
people of the Basin. Others believed they were searching for something.

After several months, a being named Loranara, Wisdom of the Icewynd,
appeared among the glacial peaks of Avechna's Peak. Next to her was an
enormous crystal in the ice. She revealed that she came from lands far
away. She warned that a terrible force had changed the weather patterns,
enabling the ice devils to be sent here by their masters. The crystal
was a magical construct that would be able to turn the weather patterns
back to normal, stopping the ice devils from continuing their invasion.

For days, the people of the Basin of Life fought the ice devils, using
their essence to empower the crystal construct. Finally, the crystal was
activated, banishing the foul weather and stopping the ice devil
invasion. Slowly, the weather patterns returned to normal, and the last
remaining ice devils were hunted down and destroyed.

Before Loranara, Wisdom of the Icewynd, returned to her distant lands,
she revealed that the name of the dread masters who controlled the ice
devils were known simply as the Forsaken. Unable to acclimate to the
temperate climate, she returned to the Icewynd, leaving behind the
crystal sphere as a possible means of contact between the two lands
at some point in the future.
