The Great Betrayal

Betrayal
Known only to a select few, including Gig, the great betrayal was orchestrated by none other than Rahim the deity of deceit. In which he tricked his brother Roarak into leaving the Vale of Ardor to hunt down what was left of Valdus. While Roarak was away, Rahim took his form and convinced the other deities in the Vale to form a great barrier to encompass the Vale. Although he managed to fool the other deities, Kewdall was not so easily tricked. Realizing that she could not convince the other deities of Rahim's coup. Kewdall sacrificed her form to the Eternal Flame to create and gain control over the barrier that covered the Vale. As Kewdall created the greater barrier she also treated a second much stronger barrier around the Flame itself.
