The Conflict
Leo Vennghast, demanded Phaedon and Lasila push Ouranite research beyond accepted limits.
Phaedon and Lasila refused, knowing the reactor’s activation would risk the very survival of their world. Their refusal split the noble houses, igniting a civil war between Vennghast’s faction, the Reclaimers, and Phaedon’s House Ourasonis.
The Fall of New Arsica
As Reclaimer forces closed in, Lasila piloted New Arsica to Satelles Peak, the highest point on Vaelos, to keep it out of Vennghast’s reach. Maintaining control over the island’s gravity field pushed the bio-Ouranite—and her body beyond stability. She succumbed to infection, physically merging with the living ore.
Leo Vennghast claimed victory, taking the title Prime Reclaimer, and imprisoning Phaedon for his knowledge of the reactor’s design.
