Shayna's Rift Myth in Tellus | World Anvil

Shayna's Rift

The rent in spacetime caused when Shayna activated an artifact given to her by a servant of darkness named Pandora. She activated it once she was finally sure her husband Bayard and the other Liege Lords would defeat her outer defenses and come claim her as their prize.

Summary

Translated as follows:  
"And, thee whole of thee blackest black could beheld, be! Grayt bersts of flame and divyne power filling the entyre sky! North, South, West and East beasts were apearing, and then in a flash of whytness would be sumwence else entyrly, whyl a blast of lytning would beat a small piece of that darkness back. Back through that tayr in the sky, with the boiling darkness. With nothing.
The tablet is archived at the The Bardic College Campus.
