Isparians On Dereth: -15 P.Y. to 10 P.Y.

The Fourth Sending of Darkness

What began with a lost expedition ended up with Dereth changed forever. Foiling an undead cult's attempt to drain the warmth from the world unleashed a terrible danger upon the land. Soon, adventurers found themselves racing against time and their fellow Isparians in order to prevent an ancient evil from being released. And in the darkest of hours, only the alliance of a legendary sorcerer and three of humanity's greatest enemies could offer the hope of defeating the dreaded Hopeslayer, Bael'Zharon.

The Rise of the New Singularity

The order of the Virindi is about to be threatened by a new enemy - Individuality.


Theirs was a world of order, a place blessed with harmony and cursed with solitude. But one band of rogue Virindi sought to cast off the shackles of conformity and attain the power, freedome, and individuality that they believed was their due. When their rebellion crossed over into the realm of the material, Dereth was quickly caught in the middle. Adventurers were forced to contend not only with loyalist Virindi, but with rebels whose 'perfect' new world threatened to destroy theirs.
