	· Titania’s council on Avlis meets with her and demands that she do something about the attacks against her kind. She knows the unseelie fairies are the reason for the attacks on her kind, but without their influence she would not be able to maintain her power on Avlis. Back home, in Faerie, she does not rule over the unseelies. That condition only exists on Avlis because of the way in which O’Ma granted her power there, but in order for her to keep it, she must be able to control all of her charges. Naturally, the unseelies have privately told Titania that they would withdraw support for her if she moved against them. Her hands are tied.		· Titania’s council on Avlis meets with her and demands that she do something about the attacks against her kind.

	'''199 P.O.D.''' – A band of O’Ma supporters wipes out a forest community of Titanian fairies in the southern part of the Jinnlands region of Dobrekan. The band was made up mostly of half-fey, but not supported officially by the church of O’Ma. However, one of the supporters was a half-sylph ex-Templar of O’Ma named Lerin Fenth. Though he had no mandate from the Church of O’Ma to attack a Titanian village, he never denied accusations to that effect, and word spread of the attack.

	'''161 P.O.D.''' – Remaining parts of Titania’s forces on Avlis fight O’Ma to a standstill, trying to hold out from oblivion. Meanwhile, the sages in T’Nanshi finish their ingenious plan to turn the tide of the war: By manipulating the demiplane of Faerie, a chunk of land from The Prime can be swallowed up and taken up into the demiplane. It is one way that demiplanes increase their landmass when their populations grow. If the process could be stopped midway, the chunk of land could theoretically exist in both planes, allowing creatures and deific influence between the two planes to be shared. In effect, the shared land would act as a bridge between the two realms. Over the past two years, the Sages and their counterparts in Faerie worked out such a spell, and casted it on their little-known patch of land in western T’Nanshi.

This ignites a race to collect this scarce resource. As O’Ma’s forces find the blood, they make it unavailable for Titanians to use it against them, and as the Titanians find it, they stockpile it for strategic use in battles. Nevertheless, the blood of Titania is still scarce and not widely found. Some of her clerical followers become dismayed at their loss of spells and begin to turn away from Titania.		'''174.

He calls himself “Skern”, and believes strongly in ending the war between his “parents”. Former clerics of Titania who are unable to cast spells begin to turn to Skern and his promises of peace and power, since many of these clerics felt abandoned by their Queen. Several groups of O’Ma’s clerics also turn to Skern in the hopes of ending the bloodshed, feeling that their god was foolishly drawn into a long war that could not be won with the current guerilla strategy. Later that year, Skern was found by Mikon and ascended to godhood. His newly minted clerics begin actively preaching an end to the war.

	'''178 P.O.D.''' – Although she is not against the principle of the war, Titania is troubled by the manner in which the unseelie members of the Council forced her hand. She knows she is unable to take full control of the Council and the war as long as those members have the ability to withdraw their worship, causing her influence on Avlis to wane. Moreover, if O’Ma got angry enough, he could in theory revoke her power and access to Avlis completely. Secretly, Titania holds a meeting with some trusted seelie Council members and devises a plan to cement her influence on Avlis and free herself of the unseelie blackmail and threat of O’Ma’s revocation. The plan calls for obtaining O’Ma’s Mantle and taking his place as one of The Nine. This victory would enable her to chastise her unseelie kin, and also it would have the added bonus of giving her the power to end the war by eliminating O’Ma’s fairies from Avlis.

	'''199 P.O.D.''' – An elite band of Titanian mercenaries captures Lerin Fenth. However, the leader of that band, a Titanian common fairy named Jeluaran Yerel, had begun to take the quest personally when Fenth killed one of her family members in a previous raid. So, instead of turning Fenth over to the Titanian Council to collect ~~his~~ reward and let Fenth stand trial, Yerel summoned a large group of bards from as far away as T’Nanshi and let them witness Fenth’s brutal execution and dismemberment. Since Yerel was a Titanian fairy, supporters of O’Ma accused the Titanian Council of condoning the action. When drafting a denial and condemnation of the act, Titania was approached again by her unseelie council members and threatened with their withdrawal if she released the apology. She acceded to their demands and said nothing. The seelie members of her council were torn on the issue of whether or not this was the correct course of action.

	'''197 P.O.D.''' – Over the next two years, numerous vocal copycats of Fenth sprung up around the continent and began attacking Titanian villages. Usually these attacks were in response to unseelie acts of hate against O’Ma fairies, but sometimes they were unprovoked. Also, by this time, seelie support for their unseelie kin’s action was growing, and violence began to spread. The Titanian Council met to discuss better ways to combat these crimes in an organized fashion. Suggestions were made about creating armies of fey to attack O’Ma’s children, but these ideas were quickly disregarded because they were unrealistic: the Titanian fey were far outnumbered by O’Ma’s fey, and both species of fairy were scattered around the continent too thinly for any sort of concerted attack by a military force to have any lasting effect. The decision was made to recruit groups of adventurers and mercenaries led by fey who had direct council liveries. The groups would act as rapid response units to combat any areas where O’Ma supporters attacked Titanians.
