A cool spring breeze swept through a blackened forest as the first rosy glow of morning was seen in the east. Nightmarish creatures stirred at the signs of a new day. Rays of sunlight pricked a gigantic grey wall, the D'Yer Wall, built by men and women over a thousand years earlier to contain Kanmorhan Vane. On the opposite side of the wall, trees were sprouting the first green in half a year and soldiers dressed in black and silver changed shifts at a breach within the massive structure. Masons from clan D'Yer had given up repairing the breach the summer before. Unfortunately, they had long ago lost the skill of their ancestors to weave magic with stone and mortar, not that they even realized the true extent magic was involved in the building of the wall.
The soldiers' job was simple; keep the creatures created by Mornhavon the Black behind the wall. The unnatural creatures were indiscriminate and bloodthirsty, but despite the dangers, many of the soldiers found the duty routine. They cut away any rot that seeped into the healthy forest and slay every vile creature that strayed too close to the breach, but never ventured into Blackveil themselves. Those few who had more than a year before were swallowed up by the forest itself, never to be seen again.
However, on this morning a new recruit went about his shift and saw something new. Just beyond the breach, through the ever-thinning brown haze, was bright green vegetation forcing its way out of the blackened ground. It wasn't much, but it was enough to peak the young man's interest. He left his post momentarily to investigate, and as he knelt down to examine the small plants the earth trembled violently.
