A merian archaelogist led a small contingent of Celestians across ancient traps seeking clues to, and eventually discovering, the Meliashmora of Imperial Secrets, despite the attempts of the Guardians, descendants of the Bannerhouse La’Saet to prevent this discovery.

The Basin of Life was wracked with destructive weather patterns, including lightning storms, earthquakes, cyclones, volcanic eruptions, floods and more. The cause could not be determined.

Villages throughout the Basin of Life were thrown into chaos with various kidnappings, revolts, thefts and riots. As a result, the villages all but stopped producing commodities.

Some furrikin in Tolborolla mysteriously found a cache of candy which gave a strong defense against physical damage when eaten. Unfortunately, it was later discovered that the defense was the first sign of a skin rot disease that was highly contagious.

From the seas came an invasion of strange giant sand crabs. Killing the crabs transformed them into more powerful and dangerous creatures.

Tribal wars broke out between the Loboshigaru Monks of the Tosha Monastery and the Aslaran Pribe of Rashaala of the Greymoors, apparently after each faction kidnapped the leader of the other.

An anonymous source released antidotes to the skin rot disease. Unfortunately, the antidote proved only temporary and those who took it were plagued by strange visions of beauty. Further, those who had the visions coughed up strange crystals.

Jolly Bundy, the gnome who orchestrated the Solstice Gifting, was kidnapped.

Each of the recent disasters was traced to a Gnafia Underboss in Aetherspace. Thus, the weather machine was found on Xion, the chaos in the villages was traced to activity in Bottledowns, the skinrot disease originated from Cankermore, the invasion of crabs from Dramube, the tribal leaders were hidden on Mucklemarsh, and the drugs which…

The recent spate of catastrophes was finally revealed to be the criminal gnome organization known as the Gnafia. By channeling the energies of many of the Nine Seals, they were able to control all the nexuses of power in the Basin of Life.

Jolly Bundy was found trapped in ice in the Frotsicia Aetherbubble. Hidden in an ancient device created by the Elder gods, he was finally freed and Solstice celebrations and gift giving immediately commenced!

The Gnafia were finally defeated after it was discovered they were using an ancient artifact known as the Eight Rings of the Aether Kings. These were actually locations, each a ruin of a device used by the Elder Gods during the Elder Wars and subsequently hidden. After the Gnafia were defeated, the rings were claimed…
