Tensions began rising in [[Phoena]] as the Casiric High Priests Zehr/Raysh and [[Sorhan]] competed to fulfill Casir's commands: kill a pregnant princess, and slay the last dragon in Marillia and use its heart to destroy the Phoenic city of Lozanre. The [[Casiric Church]] split into two major factions: the White Casirists, who follow Zehr/Raysh (c. 20-25% of the Church), and the Red Casirists, who follow Sorhan (c. 40-50% of the Church).

Northern Seuvia was quickly overrun by Arkhan's forces, while southern Seuvia was overwhelmed by a Zehirite<ref>Zehir is Casir's name in Seuvia</ref> insurgency. Taking advantage of the situation in Seuvia, where the [[godstones]]—powerful alien artifacts corrupting the land with a supernatural plague named the "[[Glow]]"—Arkhan obtained the [[godstones|northern godstone]] and used it to attain power unseen in Seuvia since [[Revaxa|Queen Revaxa's]] time. | ||
