The “Red Night” celebration is the anniversary of the White Council dethroning the “False King” of Vaal’lin. Every year citizens dress in white and dip their hands and fore-arms in red ink. In later years the Vaal’lin ladies would have their hands and arms intricately painted in red ink. The red is to symbolize the the literal “blood on the hands”, reminding all of those who lost their lives in the civil conflict. The white of course represents the White Council.

The Blight spread quickly throughout the Qumar province. It crumbled kingdoms and from the ruins it carved out a new one for itself. Blighthunters went from door to door tearing families apart, carting off the infected to the city of Anteal and disposing of those who died from the sickness.

A new plague is hard to fight, but a plague that is sentient can be almost impossible to defeat.

The war against the Blight lasted for years. Only the Vaal’lin remained untouched as all others fell to the Blight. But when the war was over, and there was no life left to infect within the Qumar province…not even the Vaal’lin could be found.

The Temple of the Falling Star is a small temple within the Vaal’lin city and sister to the Temple of the Rising Star which resides in another Age. The two temples are linked together by a thread that goes beyond space and time.

Books are still the core to the Vaal’lin Linking technology, but they also took it a step further. Each inhabitant of Vaal’lin is equipped with a personal Linking stone that is worn on the chest. Such an item is so common place within society that fashion has evolved to include said stones within the design.

At the core of the device is an extremely small linking book that is connected to the rock interface allowing for a Link to be made upon contact. Similar technology was used with the Vaal’lin Public Link Service.
