It began just before the end of Estar 344, during the afternoon of the last day of the month. Rusacha, Dame of the Weft shouted her discovery, and her sisters soon shouted their celebration. The Wheel of the Goloths turned and churned forth dominators and wraiths, fought back by many of the Basin of Life who had come to thwart the Time Dame's latest efforts. Instead of tolerating the continued fighting, Stepasha and Rusacha, the Dames of Destruction and Weft reclaimed the Wheel of the Goloths and departed with it, nearly losing it into the Razine Mountains as they passed.

In the warmth of early Dvarsh, 343 CE, a hot air balloon rising from an island in the Inner Sea encountered some difficulty and crashed to the sea.
