For months the Veiled God lurked in the shadows of the Glomdoring, speaking with those who dwelled within. Though they pressed Him for detail, questions were oft answered with questions of His own, and topics shifted so readily that many began to realize they knew nothing about Him. Speculation ranged as to His true identity - some thought he was the traitor Manteekan returned, others His dark cohort Blooredi. Many scoured the history books and found their descriptions did not match - but still, some hoped.

Working tirelessly, Glomdoring set about completing a task they knew would cripple the Time Dames and their legions of dominators, to bind and hold the Wheel of the Goloths itself. Using the Ebonglom Wyrdling as their vehicle for this great feat, those of the Merciless Forest fed it hundreds upon hundreds of the strange temporal anomalies, simply referred to as 'abominations', manifesting in the wake of the damage to the Wheel. Slowly the Ebonglom Wyrdling's aura expanded, dull at first until it grew explosive with the temporal energies the abominations were rife with.

True to her promise, Stepasha, the Dame of Destruction, returned to attack the Glomdoring Forest. For more than a day the deathwatch beetles within the forest have clicked and chimed their eerie song, anxiously skittering amongst the trees. Soon the very Voice of Mahalla wailed and shrieked, the mournful tones of her song filling the Glomdoring with a dread cadence as the attack drew nearer and nearer. And then she came.

The wondrous, extraordinary and magnificent Czigany Wayfaire has arrived in the Basin of Life to celebrate Lusternia's anniversary! Led by Jal Czigany himself, the Czigany Wayfaire is a fantastic place of games, food and fun.

As the early morning sun rose over the mountains, so too did the Wheel of the Goloths rise into the sky, shooting bolts of energy which tore open temporal rifts across the firmament. For a few moments, half-seen images of possible futures, including a disturbing future for a Guardian of the Dark Forest, and events of the long past flitted across the surface before a rift opened and squadron after squadron of Dominator poured out into the sky.

The Wheel of the Goloths became active once again. This time an enormous cube made up of smaller cubes emerged from the wheel, as it began to give a message to all those who had gathered. But just before the message could be completed, the cube became unstable and exploded into hundreds of shards. What was the message that was left uncompleted? Who did it come from? Will anyone ever know?

For now, the Wheel of the Goloths remains silent once more.

For the May Vesteran Honours, Morbo won the bardic contest with the comedic story titled, "A Hero Arises: Part One. The Dread Chicken of Delport".

The Wheel of Goloths became active once again, releasing a squadron of the Dominators, led by Ludlya, Time Dame of the Flow, who immediately invaded Avechna's Teeth on a mission that led them to attempt to commandeer the blood diamond mines in the hidden Feyranti Estate. The invasion overwhelmed the estate, enough so that the reclusive Master Kinzoth Feyranti sought help from his kin in Magnagora. Unfortunately, Kinzoth was unable to muster the Feyranti forces he hoped for.

It was but a late autumn evening in the 324th year since the Coming of Estarra when the Wheel of the Goloths rose from its dank, stinking pit in the Balach Swamp. Spinning faster and faster, an aura of cobalt energy grew to surround it and threatened the weft of time itself. Before doing any permanent damage, it released a charge towards the swamp and tore open a rift to the Vernal Wars.

Late into spring, a portly tae'dae was found wandering through the mountains, apparently lost in the environs. After several misguided attempts to be led to Avechna's Peak, two citizens of Hallifax, Elleiya Windwhisper and Tulemrah Shevat, responded to his plea for help.
