The events immediately following the end of the Meloran Crisis were known by mortals as Undine's First Acts.
Precursor to the Acts
After her apotheosis, Undine's miracles at the end of the Meloran Crisis ushered in a new era for mortalkind on Echelon. The Light Age was over, and the Epoch of Undine was declared. Two Solar angels, Champion and Meta, were dispatched to the most populated civilizations on the planet; Champion revealed the Epoch of Undine to Silvera, Glavia and at the Jaguar Gate in Zatal, while Meta announced it in the town squares of Calogero, Trigonon, Wophec, and Strongwater. Very few, if any, denied the apotheosis of Undine and the arrival of a new Age.
List of Acts
Undine performed several miracles at the very beginning of her godhood:
- She ended the Welkin Maelstrom, an arcane storm which had previously plagued Echelon's troposphere for nearly 400 years.
- She froze the ice-choked sea north of the Mainland. This effectively connected the continent of Pitharas with Axia Atis, the ice shelf surrounding the north pole. It also prevented sea travel north of Pitharas, which was already considered a dangerous endeavor.
- She caused the underground aquifers in the Midden Valley lowlands to burst, flooding the Shatterlands and creating the Great Shattered Lake.
- A powerful miracle severed the continent of Antipode at the tectonic level, forever splitting it into Northern Antipode and Southern Antipode.
- Perhaps most controversially, Undine caused a significant movement of the Spiral. The miraculous repositioning of the centuries-old hurricane tore apart the Stygian Lands and, over the course of a few months, quickly battered and eroded the landmass into a massive archipelago of thousands of islands. The loss of life was said to rival in scale with the firing of the Logos Vortex, some 1600 years prior to the Meloran Crisis.
Scholars and theologians described the Acts as both necessary to stabilize the element of water after the death of Melora, and also evidence of the new goddess flexing her powers to signal the arrival of an era of change.
