The Shadow Rift replaces the land where G'Henna and Markovia once were. Bluetspur and the Nightmare Lands similarly vanish from the Core. G'Henna, Bluetspur, and the Nightmare Lands become islands of Terror whereas Markovia becomes an island in the Sea of Sorrows.[4]

A falling star leads Astrilax diCorvi to a hilly set of ruins just out of Vallaki. The Celestines build Midway Haven, the first Celestine Observatory there.[15]- In the aftershocks of the Grand Conjunction, a rift opens up between Dementlieu and Hell, letting an aminzu devil and a bearded devil slip through the barrier with several larvae in tow. The two devils end up in Chateaufaux and murder Mayor Henri Melano and Captain Domini Tisiphanes and assume their identities, establishing the Black Watch.[16]
