View source for Mystery around Keepers of the Eternal Shadow

Beginning on the fourth month of the same year, peculiar events surrounded the long-neglected [[Keepers of the Eternal Shadow]]. The story seemed to unfold after the [[Darkmare]] Vraadurger was attacked by a member of the Entranced, and shortly afterwards went into a rage. After some patience, several dreamers, including Silverwake, spoke to the Mare, and determined that this attack broke a mysterious treaty between the Mares and the Entranced. The tale became more complex when Tzayak declared himself a ruler of the [[Keepers of the Eternal Shadow]] on the sixth day of that month, and five other [[Darkmares]] appeared from the house to the crowd of dreamers waiting outside: Wrotzkils, Xegoth, Atraxis, Gnurndakkisz, and Erishkigal. These mares laid a slaughter to anyone who challenged them. Additionally, Tzayak appeared to have a distinctive rivalry with Osric, of the Union of the Covenant.

That day three of the [[Darkmare]]s attacked the Union at their façade: Ereshkigal, Vraandurger, and Tzayak. The Union declared ownership of all of Umbric Plains and the Keepers of the Eternal Shadow, provoking further conflict with the [[Darkmare]]s. Finally, after many long battles the Union agreed to sign a treaty offered by Ceyllynn and a group speaking on behalf of the house, ceding Union claims on Keepers lands in return for a promise that a Dark Mare will never Rule the Keepers of the Eternal Shadow.

Meanwhile, Kruugaar was spotted in combat with Tzayak and Vraadurger at the [[Keepers of the Eternal Shadow]] façade, spawning rumours of a [[Darkmare]] civil war. It was believed that Kruugaar challenged the others for leadership of the Council of [[Darkmare]]s, an enigmatically organization that apparently held twelve seats, six of which had unknown ownership. 

In the tenth month of that year the Dream City was again shaken under rumors of a Keepers influence when the dark Elder [[Asmodan]] appeared and sparked great discord.
