The likely cause of this phenomenon was the absence of the goddess Ayisla who was responsible for judging elves for the afterlife or reincarnation. Soon soulless children began to appear eventually began to arrive with increasing frequency. Many deduced that the Rivening was a sign that most of the gods were lost or destroyed and the priests sane enough to reach this conclusion fell into despair, and many committed suicide. Subsequently all Iosan priests other than of Scyrah found they cannot channel the power of the divine through prayer. The priests of the goddess Scyrah seemed insulated from the worst effects, but even those healers wandered the streets in a daze spouting gibberish. Panic and riots swept through the major cities as the Rivening spread. Some immolated themselves in the streets, while others fell into murderous frenzies while weping and praying. The loss was too much and it claimed the sanity of the priests, who burst from their places of worship ranting and screaming.
Priests of the Divine Court across Ios experienced an abrupt and severe mental shock followed by a complete sense of isolation from the gods. Seven hundred years after the exodus of the gods the Rivening happened. The Gods left Ios to find a way back to the Weld leaving the Elves without their guidance during which many cities were abandoned and claimed by the wild while the children of Nyssor abandoned their city of Darsael and left Ios for the north and eventually became the Nyss. However during Great Malaise the Gods revealed that their powers were waning due to being away from the Weld while the lifespans of Elves dropped and they were faced with aging and diseases. After the fall of the Empire of Lyoss and journey of remaining elves and their gods now stuck in Caen the Elves settled Ios and began building the new nation. The roots of the Retribution of Scyrah lies in the incident known as the "Rivening". The Retribution is now large and influential enough to abandon secrecy at home and to become a recognized political, religious, and military power. They are no longer forced to hide their affiliations and have begun to organize into an army capable of waging open warfare.
Their message has found a voice inside Ios and they have won new allies to their cause. Until recently, they were outlawed and had to work in secrecy from numerous cells within Ios’ neighboring human kingdoms. The Retribution of Scyrah is a fringe organization of zealous and violent elven fanatics with the goal of eradicating of human wizards and sorcerers, whom they hold responsible for the ills of their species.
