Editing Othius the Fourth (section)

== Chronology ==
To further his attempt on building the Fifth Wall and potentially end the demons once and for all, Othius had his mages conduct a ritual to summon legendary heroes from another time/place. For the sacrificial cost of about ten thousand unborn children (at a rough ratio of one hundred unborn children to one hero)<ref name="1.05C">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/05/1-05-c/ Chapter 1.05 C]</ref>, he summoned the sixty [[Americans]] (and forty more "Earthers" who were cast across Innworld) ,who were all just level 1 [Heroes]. They were then sent into their first confrontation with monsters and demons with the expectation that it would be a resounding victory however only twenty "heroes" survived. As a result Othius declared it a failed experiment and banned them to a underdeveloped border region.

Only when [[Richard Davenport|Richard]], [[Emily]] reached level 30 and [[Thomas|Tom]] slaughtered a full raiding party of demons, did Othius reconsider his decision. He invited them to his court again and reinstated them as Heroes,<ref name="1.03C" /> although most of the others had already lost the special class, probably due to the populace no longer believing some of them were heroes. Shortly thereafter, an Elite force of [[Demons]] was set loose in the Blighted King's fortress by the [[Fool]] who had been opposing the unborn child sacrifices and wanted to depose the Blighted King, but was stopped by Tom.<ref name="1.05C" />

:“Ten thousand. He wants an army this time. An army. He’d sacrifice so many for any edge. And if ten thousand doesn’t work, he’ll sacrifice a hundred thousand.” (Fool <sup>[[Chapter 1.05 C|1.05 C]]</sup>)

As a result, the Blighted King's plans could unfold, and he planned to scale up the sacrifices, planning to summon more [[Earthers]] and spending a million unborn children on them; which caused another delay when seven of his [High Mages] revolted against these orders. [[Laisa]] declared he "lost his mind".<ref name="6.68">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/01/01/6-68/ Chapter 6.68]</ref>

After undergoing significant torture by [[Hayvon Operland]] [[Laisa]] gaze up the hiding positions of the other [High Mages] and was convinced of the necessity of the sacrifices through the use of some skill by the Blighted King. 

Due to his [High Mages] returning with minimal fuss Othius was able to conduct the ritual on the Summer Solstice. In the midst of opening the portal to Earth the Court of the Fae began to cross over into Innworld to conduct a (another?) great war against the gods, due to the Fae taking an active interest in Innworld again they began to affect the portal and began healing the scar/hole it was causing in the fabric of the world. However, [[Aaron Vanwell]]'s actions at the behest [[Emerrhain]] (the text message pronouncing to Earthers that "the gods are alive") lead to a resurgence in the strength of the dead gods and a stabilizing of the Earther portal leading to Othius managing to send a message to the war rooms and other places of Earth summoning them to aid him in the war against the demons in which he said:

“Send me your righteous souls, to fight the last war! The eternal war! Until the Demons are driven back and hell itself is cleansed! Bring your greatest armies to make war upon the end of the world! ''This is the day of reckoning and I call you to my side!''”<ref>Solstice (Pt. 9) | The Wandering Inn</ref>

As a result of this ritual Othius receives another group of Earthers and scatters even more Earthers across the world.
