A strange year once again, the Gathering was to be hosted by the Harts of Albion and indeed the Harts did host, but in the neutral land of Aegyptus at the bequest of the Pharaoh or more accurately at the insistence of some of his priests . The Gathering was held at En’esh near the great Pyramid.
The Factions were all invited or some would say coerced to attend by the pharaoh. The supposed kidnapping of several faction dignitaries from the Harts, the Lions and the Unicorns forcing the issue.
Late on Sunday night, a group entered the ritual circle and summoned into the circle an amount of void magic far beyond there ability to control. The actual reason why they did this was unclear, but the out come lead to the destruction of the Tome of Fire and cause the well spring in En’esh to crack. In turn this created a chain reaction of pulsing magic that started to effect the very fabric of magic on Erdreja.
One of the effects of the pulses was that any one carrying more than four magic items at one time were adversely effected by vibrations, the item heating up and in some cases exploding.
The battle of this year was over the issue of slavery but was dwarfed by the outcome of the final ritual on Sunday night, and tale sof the coming cataclysm of fire.
