In the Creation War ( 1486 DE - 8777 DE ) , the primordial Sarseg bored a hole in The Weave, opening a rift between the worlds Throndar and Bal-Kriav. Sarseg, a rogue weave spider, possessed intricate knowledge of The Weave and how to counteract the imminent repair efforts by his former kindred, weave spiders tasked with preserving The Weave. Sarseg surrounded the rift with an area of dead magic, rendering it irreparable. Fighting alongside the primordials, the rift was utilized to launch attacks on the Covenant position at Achamâz.
When the Covenant learned the rift was permanent, they sought methods to obstruct it. After interrogating some prisoners, Lukoon discovered that the rift's opposite side was situated on the planet Throndar. The Nawirrûs Covenant commissioned Silvanus and his army with the task of finding a way to block the rift from the other side. Owing to Sarseg's overconfidence, the opposing flank was lightly defended. Silvanus and his Hedge Legion employed their druidic magic to induce earthquakes in the hills between the rift's opening and a vast freshwater sea on Throndar. This created a gap in the hills, promptly submerging the rift beneath 300 feet of water.
This was an impending ecological crisis, but a sacrifice was necessary, as inaction could result in the downfall of both realms. On another occasion, I shall locate a means to channel the water back to Throndar.
Silvanus, from a Scroll of Dawn - "Inundating the Radullu Rift"
The side effect of flooding the Radullu Rift had far-reaching consequences. On Bal-Kriav, still linked by rift with the world of Throndar, the plateau lake Radullu was born. As it overflowed, it quadrupled the size of Lake Orukhan. Lands to the south would become wetlands from the great volume of water coming through this rift. These changes, the Radullu Creep, transformed much of sectors Ara'phis and Chen'gom into wetlands.
In a Scroll of Dawn, Silvanus notes that he would rectify the damage caused by flooding the rift. His initial attempt, with the assistance of a primordial, yielded the region known as God Folley. One of the more successful containment strategies is Tara-Har. The Nature Protectorate of the Troll Bogs, Boglin, asserts the existence of another rift that channels water back to its source. She has, however, refrained from disclosing its location, and no one else has discovered it.
