Reality begins showing stress from intensifying divine influence. The Aetheric Weave (Magic) develops “knots” where conflicting divine energies interact.

Regions near the Kingdom of Vanguard Reach see increased monster activity and spontaneous appearance of defensive terrain features. Scholars document that magic itself is becoming polarized along theological lines.
