Editing New Lands of Izril (section)

== Background ==
The most recent [[Meeting of the Tribes]] had several earth-shattering revelations, consisting of the discovery of a conspiracy to suppress Gnollish arcane magic between several [[Walled Cities]] and [[Plain’s Eye Tribe|a Gnoll tribe]],<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 8.42}}</ref> and the [[Doombearers|truth of white Gnolls]].<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 8.67}}</ref> This all came to a head in a battle at the Great Plains, with a civil war between the Gnoll tribes while armies from [[Manus]], [[Fissival]], and [[Zeres]] attacked the Meeting of Tribes, with forces from [[Oteslia]], [[Salazsar]], [[Chandrar]], and a [[Terandria|Terandrian]] crusade allying with the Gnolls.<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 8.84}}</ref> At the same time, there was a [[Seamwalkers|Seamwalker]] invasion in [[Kasignel|lands of the dead]].<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 8.78 F}}</ref> [[Khelt]] activated a ritual allowing ghosts to possess corpses and access their classes and Skills in the land of the living. Among the ghosts summoned were three of the greatest Gnolls in history: the oldest [Shaman], the [Archmage of the Eternal Grasslands] Kishkeria, and the [Chieftain of the Skies] Seru'nial. Bitter at the treachery of the Drakes, the misdeeds of the Gnoll tribes, and the constant conflict between the two species, all three Gnolls pooled their magic. Backed by the power of the greatest [Witches] in history, the oldest [Shaman] split Izril between Izril's southwestern coastline across the Great Plains, Seru'nial raised the ocean floor to fill the gap, and Kishkeria grew grass and plants across the newly risen land.<ref name=":1">{{VERef|Chapter 8.85}}</ref>
