Ascension
Nevari returned to Crescent in spectacular fashion - the public ascension of a mortal woman, Dame Aelen Wyer, and the simultaneous destruction of two hundred feet of dwarven stone war wall, in the city of Maxaen.
In the aftermath of Cometfall, when the Jade Imperium struck at the heart of the gathering orcish forces, orc refugees gathered in the plains surrounding Maxaen. Though Dame Aelen - head of the Church's healers - several times requested permission to take her healers and supplies out to the refugee camp to provide aid, Field Marshal Wounded Bear, of the Green Rock Riders, refused her request.
Apparently she got fed up with asking, because after his final refusal, she climbed to the top of the tower parapet (a long climb for a 79 year-old human), called up fire and earth magic, and blew out 200 feet of earthcrafted dwarven war wall.
Her clerics and aides poured through the breach, and brought succor to the desperate orcs, many of whom were sick, or starving. Though they were prepared to fight if needed, to defend their aides and enforce order, the settling dust from the wall brought with it a mystical peace over the whole of the camp and the city.
It wasn't until later that the spellcasters of Dame Aelen's group noticed that their holy symbol had changed from the familiar sun-and-moon, to a stylized flame atop a pillar.
Nevari had returned, and brought warmth to a desperate people.
