Medivh congratulated Hestia on reaching Upper God, then saw Goddess of the Underworld Irigal ascend to Mid God as the fifth phase of the Light Covenant neared its end. The chapter surveyed Medivh’s progress and the growing ranks of gods across his allied planes, while his Race-Leading Pantheon Project remained unfinished.

Goddess of Spores Luna defended the Blackstone Plane’s ascension evolution against an assault by the Three Sources of Evil, using spores, divine light, and dream powers to repel them.

As the Blackstone Plane continued its leap and evolution, the rise of the Blood Moon began a new age and freed the Star Sea’s High Gods and Abyssal Demon Gods from their restrictions. Tzeentch concealed that the Three Sources of Evil had already rooted themselves elsewhere and risen to High Godhood, while their enemies mistook their apparent retreat for weakness.

• The Goddess of Blood Moon battled Tzeentch, Khorne, and Nurgle through the minds of their armies as the Blackstone Plane’s defenders drove back the distracted Star Sea Evil Spirits and Abyssal Fiends.

• The High Gods and Abyssal Demon Gods agreed to preserve the existing order and formed an organization to watch the Three Sources of Evil and replace them if they became uncontrollable.
• Tzeentch had already moved the Three Sources of Evil’s core elsewhere, where they drew power from the evil thoughts of Star Sea spirits and Abyssal demons rather than their planes’ origins.

Medivh, Luna, and Sunada worked together to push the Blood Moon Plane through an evolutionary leap, expanding the Light Alliance’s power and the Energy Network.
