The portal pillar of light appeared in Rines a month ago. Then suddenly it started behaving strangely when a second portal was opened in the Vale. Something went very wrong. I don't fully understand what happened, but ive caught snippits of RPs of Templars battling daimons in Obia'Syela's capital. There's no such thing as a "normal" portal event, but I've personally not experienced one quite like this.
Rania is critically wounded. I think that since she's a hero there is a chance she may just die of her wounds. Lots of good RP lead up to the moment, though.
