Soul Plague

The soul Plague describes a round about 100 day period right before the end of the 4th age, the Age of Strife, the days before the half goddess Monoris was defeated. During this time dying was a dangerous endeavor for all around them for souls tended to turn into shadows and reek destruction on civilizations and thus reproduce. Trapped Souls were offered another path by Monoris to freedom and thus many enchanted and sentient artifacts lost their magic, Ghosts turned into shadows destiny lost grip on reality. The rules for reincarnating the fallen where changed forever, for the Goddess of Secrets could not allow every soul to remain on the material plane for the sake of the living. The soul Plague was finally ended when Monoris met her hand by the hand of the Red Tallons.
