The comet Beljor is visible in the sky. The Narsi try to work a great ritual to grant wings and the power of flight to a large group of Shival Arali; unfortunately, the ritual is interrupted by a continent of Desnian Arali wanting to stop what they see as an abomination. The disrupted ritual goes horribly awry, sending out a wave of Devastation that destroys/petrifies the highland plains and all life within it. Many are killed outright. They are the lucky ones. Many of those who are not killed are somehow transformed into monstrous creatures. Those Arali who have survived become known as the Schirae.
