Distortion

A Distortion In The Night Sky, or Distortion, for lack of a better name, is an aeon that appeared to the party in the storm above Firelash. Aeons, being nameless fragments of a universal consciousness, do not have a personality or history aside from their current agenda. In the case of Distortion, its agenda consisted of turning the party aside from their journey to the peak, showing them visions of a bloody and gruesome fate if they continued. Instead, it showed them vivid images of eight elven mages as the culprits of the storm, hiding away in Castle Duilius in Sentus. With the elves dead, it implied, the storm would clear, and things would be set right. However, if time was wasted, it would be deadly to the gnomes marching to Nundinae. The party left the aeon behind, hovering above the storm, to find the mages as soon as possible.
