=== Early Derethian History === It seems that as long as [[Isparian]]s have been on [[Dereth]], the Virindi have been there, watching. The mysterious beings seemed content to limit their presence to the [[Direlands]] and [[Obsidian Plains]], establishing a few well-hidden fortresses where they carried out experiments upon the creatures of the island, most notably [[Drudge]]s and [[Tusker]]s.<ref name=ScrawledNote>2001/04 [[A Reign of Stone]] - [[Scrawled Note (Aerbax Laboratory)]]</ref> The Virindi created more deadly creatures called [[Hollow Minion]]s, resistant to human magic and able to batter through protection enchantments with ease.<ref name=TumNote>2000/10 [[Hollow Victory]] - [[Translated Tumideon Note]]</ref><ref name=RiseNewSing>2001/11 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[AC:DM CD Lore/Historical Overview/Portal Year 12 - The Rise of the New Singularity|Portal Year 12 - The Rise of the New Singularity]]</ref> The earliest documented human encounter with Virindi is that of Lord [[Cambarth]]'s meeting and subsequent trading with a Virindi using the Isparian identity of Lord [[Sarvaen]].<ref name=TornJournal>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[Torn Journal]]</ref> The Virindi took increasing interest in the activities of their human neighbors in the midst of the struggle with [[Ilservian Palacost]].<ref>1999/12 [[Sudden Season]] - [[Virindi's Note]]</ref> A pair of Virindi agents established themselves in the town of [[Ayan Baqur]]. [[Claude the Archmage]] and his associate [[Leopold]] proved a benign, if odd, pair of agents, rigorously maintaining a façade of human behavior, even if it was perfectly obvious to any human interacting with them that these two were foreign observers.<ref name=RiseNewSing>2001/11 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[AC:DM CD Lore/Historical Overview/Portal Year 12 - The Rise of the New Singularity|Portal Year 12 - The Rise of the New Singularity]]</ref> This facade was later repeated by the Virindi [[Jean]] and [[Luc]] in [[Mar'uun]].<ref>2009/03 [[Who Watches the Virindi?]] - [[Portal Space Research#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> As the conflict with [[Ilservian Palacost]] and his shadowy legions reached a climax, the Virindi took a more active role in Dereth's affairs. [[Asheron]] assembled a coalition of disparate groups to defeat the Hopeslayer, including the Virindi. The Virindi however, refused to grant the [[Fragment of the Singularity]] which might help to defeat Bael'Zharon. The Fragment was subsequently stolen and used in a ritual to weaken Bael'Zharon in this world. It has since been speculated that this theft angered the Virindi, perhaps goading them into a more aggressive stance against humanity.<ref name=ClaudeMind>2007/10 [[Masked Memories]] - [[Delving into Claude's Mind#Lore & Dialog]]</ref><ref name=RiseNewSing>2001/11 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[AC:DM CD Lore/Historical Overview/Portal Year 12 - The Rise of the New Singularity|Portal Year 12 - The Rise of the New Singularity]]</ref>
