The struggle was long for Kalas Ixion of the Ur'Guard, for with the healing of the Wounded Sky, so returned the bitterly cold winds and snow of the Icewynd. Yet, accompanied by Ushaara of the Sentinels, he trudged into the wintry land of war and turmoil. The two knights fought side-by-side as they cut through the queens of the ice diggers in the Iceburn Plains, later accompanied by Tulemrah and a few other mages as they fought the infamous Angels of Ice, who are now permanently imprisoned in the Dead Spire.

Yet as their efforts came to fruition, they achieved something the Forsaken had not thought possible - the Edifice of Power of Climanti, the Piercing Needle of Transcendent Ice, was restored. Not only did it shine and glow, it forged a link between two very different worlds, the current day and the Vernal Wars - and there went Kalas Ixion and Ushaara La'Saet. Together they aided the people of Climanti, aiding in the preparation of the Ice Havens for the coming battle.

It seemed for naught, though. As the last of the citizens were evacuated into the Havens, they gave Ixion a token of their thanks. It was then the alarm came in earnest - for Zenos was not coming, but here. As the winds of the Soulless God began to rip apart the city like fragile leaves, Ushaara and his companions began to pull at Ixion, urging him towards the Edifice of Power. Convinced there was something he might yet do, Ixion was remiss to depart - but depart he did, mere moments before death settled onto the city completely.

But something good did come of meddling with the past, for the ancient edifice of power, the Piercing Needle of Transcendent Ice, shines forth with a power that shields all of Climanti, laying to rest the lost souls who died during Its Fall, at least so long as the Piercing Needle remains active. Furthermore, the edifice has become imprinted with Ixion’s race at the time he completed his mission. Thus, all aslaran across the land benefit from the Blessing of the Forsaken.

As the company were about to depart, they found that at some point in the past, a statue was erected to Kalas Ixion, a enigmatic monument to the paradox of time travel. And it was there that the final truths about Climanti were revealed, truths so shocking that it called into question the veracity of history itself.
