An expedition to uncover a world long thought lost has met with success. It was not easy. Extreme cold, hard metal, and endless punishment of the screaming wind had to been endured. Even after finding the old path, all was thought lost - the world's spark was cold. Holding nothing back, the Great Blades of Power were invoked to relight the world's core and at first there was nothing. Coaxing of the spirits that inhabit the world brought rumblings but still there was no life. Each daemon within the world was contacted and firmly reminded of how it all once was. Careful patience prevailed - and the spark within cascaded out into the thousands of creatures that inhabit the world of Istaria. Blight lives again! Long Live Istaria!
