During the chaos of the evacuation, a vast black shard appears in the mountain range the Underan shelter within. It emerges suddenly without causing an impact despite being far larger than any of the mountains. A mortally wounded Rothe imbues himself with the Shard by using the Underans natural ability. His wounds close and fill with an indestructible black mass. This Void matter also allows him to manipulate Remna, a powerful, unstoppable force. He leads the remaining Underan deeper into the mountains where they build new underground cities and await the end to the storms.
