The Fires

The Fires was an event that took place in Ereijan shortly after the death of Hedenlator

Search for the Macambra
Upon examining the actions of Hedenlator, the council of 15 Spirits put the matter up to a vote, with 13 voting to have Hedenlator killed, and only Perramos and Andiesis voting against. Because democracy, Perramos, his followers, and a few other people set out in search of the Macambra, a legendary sword that had the power to slay Spirits, such as Hedenlator.

After finding the Macambra, Siris Galatas, Kered, and ScarabCoder confronted Hedenlator in his palace in the Nether, with Siris wielding the Macambra, Hedenlator was slain. When they returned to the Overworld, Perramos and co. learned the hard way that just because you kill a Spirit, doesn't mean they're actually dead. Hedenlator had deposited some of his Essence just outside of [REDACTED]'s old castle, the site of his previous fight with Perramos.

The fight with Hedenlator
The three mortals began fighting Hedenlator, while Perramos went to work cancelling out Hedenlator's Essence with his own, so that he would stay dead when killed. After about an hour of fighting, during which ScarabCoder disappeared for unknown reasons, Hedenlator was finally slain. Perramos later theorized that Hedenlator might not have wanted to kill them, Kered also noted that during the fight, Hedenlator could have easily killed any of them, had he taken the time it took to actually finish them off.

With his last breath, Hedenlator used the Heart of Purity to purge the land of everything he opposed in life. Perramos informed Kered and Siris of the impending disaster, giving them ample time to collect everything of value, along with everything they would need to recreate life. Perramos also told them to go as far underground as they could get, as being on the surface was basically suicide for a mortal. Perramos then took a majority of the damage from the Heart of Purity, leaving Ereijan still in one piece, although it took 6 months for the surface to become habitable again.
