Who: Cepheus
Where: Cepheus
When: King's Year 199, Summer
What: Bad things
[In the days directly following that terrible flash, things begin to go awry. Machines overheat more easily, fires plague the outer districts of Corehaven, and the Core itself wobbles mightily, its systems dangerously overcooked as the Old Woman makes her wrath known. Fountains flood at first, then dry up as the mechanics powering them fuse under the day's heat. Nothing major has happened ... yet. However, each minor crisis saps away from the bustling energy of the great Cephean cities.
The worst of these minor omens comes less than a full week after the first flash. A bolt of fire streaks across the night sky like a too-close shooting star. Then another follows it. And another. Soon the night is lit up by these streaks of light crashing to the ground. Upon closer investigation, the cause of these fiery lights become clear: the bibliowls have caught fire and are falling to the ground.]
