The Three Aeons - Second Era - Day 3

Tiitloc reaches out to the planet and sculpts the earth about his obelisk. The land rises a hundred measures at the epicenter of the tremendous pull and fortifies a secure perimeter around his pillar with jagged mountainous walls.

And so the earth around the obelisk is well and truly sculpted. A mighty fortress doth Tiitloc make, almost impenentrable with walls as tall as the Blue Pillar itself. This substantially alters the climate on that continent change, creating a desert where there is a forest and a forest where there was a desert. Many animals die, though the Shardi and the Elementals don't care a whit.

Alexandra sets "falling stars" in the sky, astronomical fireworks that are not destructive but which get everyone's attentions. She smiles through a crescent of stars, a new constellation.

And so everyone's attention is now got. They call the new constellation Alexandra and awe and wonder at its meaning and speculation. A species of racoons, not sentient but very clever with a sense of art, croons at it in particular at night like wolves might howl at the moon.

The Obelisk of Light flares brightly, briefly challenging the sun in intensity, yet completely lacking any heat. As it dies down, a new particle phases into being throughout the Universe: Light Matter.

Χαος's Obelisk of Light calls Light Matter into being.

And so it is that light matter is created. It immediately radiates and pierces the world, both creating light whereever it interacts with anything larger than the smallest grain of sand, but also greatly charging anything it impacts. Most of it is still concentrated around the Light Obelisk, but a small part of it impacts the Dark Matter in orbit around the sun and the explosion is TITANIC.

The Dark Matter hole is still there of course, but the explosion is visible in the night sky above the world.
