The Unquenchable Flames - Chapter 3

Fire's Contained

Chapter Three

While information from the era has generally been lost with time, the scarce few surviving documents indicate a great fear across the land at the mention of the name Ssanthal. No one believed that his fury could be contained. He razed city after city in his unrelenting fury. However, impossibility is a chain that binds only those who can afford it.

Eventually, as scrolls from their own order tell us, the ancient aelin monks at the Monastery at Caein'Mar took it upon themselves to deliver the world from Ssanthal's might. Wielding the fully awakened power of the shards of the Seas, they sought battle with the srryn. A long battle ensued, obliterating the surrounding countryside.

Even with their stalwart determination and mythic weaponry, they were unable to extinguish the flame of Ssanthal. Therefore, they wove a spell that would, while not returning Ssanthal to the Astral Plane, would imprison him in eternal stone, forever a prisoner with his immense power. It came to pass that Ssanthal's prison was to be cast into the depths of the ocean, that he might never escape, and once again wreak havoc across Avendar.
