In Mar'uun, Marcus and Wren continued their experiments with their test portal, further enhancing it. At the entrance to the town, two mysterious Virindi appeared, making the residents uneasy. The pair, [[Jean]] and [[Luc]], simply observed from the bar, and when spoken to insisted they were human travelers.
<br><br>A new faction of Virindi forged from the remnants of the original [[Renegade Virindi]] appeared, ready to fill the power vacuum left after the defeat of T'thuun. These new Virindi call themselves [[Apostate Virindi]].
<br><br>The Apostate Virindi rekindled the alliance with the [[Renegade Tumeroks and Lugians]] the old Renegade Virindi once had. In the Direlands, the Virindi set up a mining operation to extract Aetherium ore, using their new Gotrok allies as workers. Elsewhere in the Direlands stronghold of the Renegade Tumeroks and Lugians, a new underground complex was discovered by Isparians where large numbers of Hea, Gotrok, and Virindi gathered to collect materials needed to enhance living weapons.
<br><br>The Crystalline Crag continued to expand deeper into the ground, with new catacombs and stronger crystalline wisps. This time, the caverns were filled exclusively with wisps of the frost element.
