"Altar of Malice"

After the Shattering, many survivors were rescued by the ships of the Far Seas Trading Company and brought to the Isle of Refuge, where they learned fighting, magic, healing, tracking, crafting, and many other skills that would help them survive in this new world. Several years before the defeat the of the Awakened, the Far Seas Trading Company sealed off access to the islands in the Shattered Seas, including the Isle of Refuge. Following Kerafyrm's banishment, both Qeynos and Freeport sought new pacts with the Far Seas, desiring to secure their resources for their city. Upon arrival, they discovered the isle had been magically attacked, and Malvonicus' Tower was not only shattered, but the pieces were frozen in time. Both cities believed Far Seas' Captain John Graymast to be responsible, acting on behalf of agents of the other.
Graymast was tracked to Death Weave Isle, home to the urzarach, half-spider, half-bear creatures, many of whom had gone feral and attacked. Once their trust was earned, their elder said that the traders were captured and handed over to the nearby Brokenskull pirates. Although Graymast was not located within the pirates' hideout, an artefact was found which was poisoning the minds of the urzarach, solving the mystery of the rabid urzarach.

Graymast's trail then led to the isle of South Dshinn, home of deinodon-worshipping pygmies threatened by the Allu'thoa lizardmen, and their village of Bawgava. While not entirely cooperative, the attacks by the Allu'thoa suggested the lizardmen might be responsible for Graymast's disappearance.

The island of North Dshinn, in the Phantom Sea, contained another pygmy village, along
with a Far Seas outpost. The island is divided into two main sections, the caustic Boiling Wells to the north, and Dshinn Peak to the south. While searching for missing Far Seas members, the emissaries were attacked by four-armed creatures later discovered to be Akheva, ancient beings from Luclin who served as her guardians.

To the west of North Dshinn is the island of Kithicor, the site of the legendary forest and battle. The north of the island contains the remains of Highpass, formerly connecting the forest with the Plains of Karana, now the Thundering Steppes on Antonica. The keep remains, now the headquarters of the Far Seas Trading company. Further south, below the pass, is the Teir'Dal fishing village of Ghorkhaal, which was discovered to be no mere fishing village, but the heart of the cult of the Primordial Malice, seeking to resurrect Lanys T'Vyl, daughter of Innoruuk,
slain by Firiona Vie at the Battle of Kithicor.

Keep Master Yonette Ironboard was in charge of Castle Highhold, and said Captain Greymast was there, along with his son, Dargan. After repelling an attack by the akheva, the emissaries met with Captain Greymast, who said he found his son floating among the ruins of Malvonicus' Tower, holding a book, and they were pursued by the Akheva. During the attack, Dargan was captured, and Duke Ferrin was slain.

The book found with Dargan contained Shissarian magic, and a spell of origination revealed that the artefact found among the Brokenskull was previously on Grim Shales isle. The isle contained the underground ruins of Ssraeszha Temple, where the Akheva were using Dargan in a ritual to open a portal to Luclin. The Akheva were
defeated, as were the Shissar, greatly weakened, who came through the portal, but the portal itself remained open. Using the artefact found among the Brokenskull pirates, the magic was transferred from Dargan back to the Shissarian Codex, and the portal was closed, but the shissar likely remain on Luclin, awaiting another chance to invade Norrath.
Mage Tower Mirage

Malvonicus' Tower, on the Isle of Refuge, trained refugees who arrived on the Isle of Refuge after the Shattering in the magical arts. Master Malvonicus and his student Mizan Vaeoulin resided there, along with their assistant Dreak, who taught many of the refugees how to craft items. Starting with tin bars and spikes, many of Norrath's greatest artisans started here, including the carpenter Terial, whose furniture adorns homes all over Norrath. Other mages built similar towers; two of them include Myrrin the Magnific and Sythor the All-Seeing. The tower was destroyed when a Shissar artefact unearthed by a D.I.R.T.Y. expedition activated, transferring magic from a Shissar codex into Dargan Graymast, son of Captain John Graymast, head of the Isle of Refuge for the Far Seas Trading Company. The pieces of the destroyed tower were left
suspended in time, from the chronomancy contained in the book.
Far Seas Ship's Wheel

The Far Seas Trading Company began during the Rending, formed from the union of surviving seafarers. They transport goods to every part of Norrath, serving settlements both great and small. Their headquarters is in Castle Highhold in the islands of the Phantom Sea, led by Duke Jaestan Ferrin. In addition to gathering resources, they have rescued many survivors during the Rending and the Shattering, taking many of them to their outpost on the Isle of Refuge.
Pygmy Charm
Deinodon Bone Table

The pygmies of Dshinn do not often share their ways with outsiders, but did share a few of their recipes in exchange for pickles. The charm is hung in many pygmy dwellings for good luck. The pygmies make the tables from deinodon bone, which the deinodons give to them; this one is made from stone and wood.
Urzarach Cocoon

The urzarach, meaning 'spider bear', live in the village of Gorir on Death Weave Isle, in the northern part of the Tranquil Sea. This is a replica of one of their cocoons. Such cocoons are of more importance to the tribe than ever, as many of their number were recently lost, turned feral by a Shissar artefact wielded by the Brokenskull pirates. The artefact was retrieved and the pirates' hold over the urzarach was broken by emissaries from Qeynos, whom some of the urzarach called Redeemers.
Zavith'loa Hatching Egg

This egg is from Zavith'loa, the underground realm of the Allu'thoa, the lizardmen that inhabit the Shattered Seas. Growing within the eggs is a toxic fungus that the Allu'thoa sometimes feed to the deinodons, making them enraged, thus better at fighting.

DO NOT EAT.
Ghorkaal Weapon Rack

An example of the furnishings of the Teir'Dal village of Ghorkaal, on the southeastern coast of the island of Kithicor.
Ancient Shissar Artifact Replica

This is a replica of the artefact used to transfer the Shissarian magic from Dargan Greymast to a book, enabling the portal to Luclin in the Ssraeszha Temple to be closed without harm to him.
Subjugation of the Iksar

This wall carving, discovered in excavations on Grim Shales island in the Phantom Sea, depicts the enslavement of the iksar by the shissar.
