[Janlm]

Ah, well, that is part of the explanation at least. The great Yikilth, the grey one, the god of rivers and king of untimely deaths has stirred in his slumber and in his dreams he told us to go through the void gate and bring back a certain artefact. We send our strongest astral mage, he came back mad ofcourse, but also brought with him the artefact which we placed in the great Yikilth's chambers. We fear that the old age that plague your people is but a minor side effect of this. An accident of sorts, and something we certainly do not considder a breach of any sort of pact we have agreed upon with anyone.
