On the way to Blacklight, the first casualties of Towerfall happened.

Far to the southwest, the Sovendaak volcano awoke.

Unlike its first eruption nearly two decades earlier, it went off without warning.

In a mighty upheaval of ash and fire, the Sovendaak Caldera was blasted into the atmosphere. The first deaths were at the former location of Crystal-Like-Law, where a few scouts sacrificed their lives to warn the rest of the island.

Minutes later, another eruption occurred, breaking the biggest island of the Summerset Archieplegeo into half, the western half sinking into the boiling and roiling sea.

Auridon hadn't been touched, but the ash cloud, which could be seen from Morrowind, began to rain down on the island.

For a few hours, it was as black as midnight on Auridon as a foot of scalding ash fell on the island, a nightmare straight out of Morrowind's Red Year.

The many Altmer who crowded on ships gambled with their lives as the seas boiled around then, the black ash falling from the skies.

But for a lucky few, the Divines smiled upon them as they escaped to the shores of Valenwood and Elsweyr, fleeing from their homeland as it was devoured from below...

Darius saw the plume from Sovendaak as they crossed into Morrowind, and paled.
