As the world continued to experience a variety of disconcerting anomalies, the sound of shattering glass echoed from somewhere on Avechna's Peak. A squeak of alarm followed it - and then silence.

Though a number of people explored the Peak to seek out the source of the sound, including a cautious investigation from a distance by Dys Mzithrei of Gaudiguch, it was Coraline Myeras of Serenwilde who stumbled upon something strange within the Peak.

Whilst standing at the Aetherplex, she observed a gnome in a white suit stepping out of a portal. Their exchange was brief, with the gnome - thuggish and rude - telling her not to worry, that it was just business, and to run along now. Then the thug left the Aetherplex, passing Ayisdra Ysav'rai of Hallifax on her way, making no further comments as she passed.

Understandably concerned by the altercation, Coraline spoke first to Ayisdra and then to Kogon of New Celest, who in turn relayed what she had seen to his city. But thus, it seemed, ended all thought upon it - for no one chose to investigate or communicate further.
