On the night of the eruption, the ominous black plume rose with a geyser of red death from miles around. More shockingly though was the bright green and purple arcane lightning that stormed through the smoke for five days. The eruption and lava flows wiped out many nearby farmholds and settlements, including Clement, and caused folks to flee with nothing but their families to the safety of the Nurbotu Scar. These survivors eventually made a new home for themselves there and are slowly making a new life as the Nurbotu Scarfolk. Scholars all across Anvil are investigating the volcano and surrounding area to prove (or disprove) theories that the start of this eruption is what caused the rifts to other realms to start appearing all across Melior.
