Editing Tephra (section)

===Chosen of Allabar===
By this time, Tephra had amassed a small army of fanatical followers, and made her base within the ancient [[Fortress at World's End]]. She also made contact with the demon lord [[Orcus]], promising him the [[Scythe of Nerull]] in exchange for his help. She also began making plans for an assault on Silverstone. Her minions soon delivered the Tear to her at the Fortress; she used it to open a small, unstable portal to the Far Realm and focus the Tear's magic through it. As the Tear was linked to the dormant portal in Estorium, planar energies from the Far Realm had been steadily leaking through it, and by focusing it back through the Far Realm it would cause the seal on the portal to unravel.

The Challengers interrupted her in the middle of the ritual, however, and after a long battle Tephra escaped through the portal into the Far Realm shortly before Kalth threw the Tear into it. The planar energies of the Far Realm spilling through the Tear into itself caused a feedback loop that destroyed the Tear and collapsed the portal, but Gryff was sucked in and lost.
