In secret, the Sebuuk traveled to Kôthar and '''inverted the Super Nexus''', turning a channel of light into a wound in space. In its place, they birthed the '''[[Black Hole (Lethurèa)|Blackhole]]''', a spiraling gate into '''[[Gozog’nok]]''', the Lethurèan Hell.

With cruel instruction, [[Malis]] taught them to weave [[Shadow Bodies]]—false vessels not formed of flesh and breath, but of black flame and volatile matter.

The final blow came when the [[First-Flames]] '''sealed the [[Blackhole (Lethurèa)|Blackhole]]''', casting the surviving Sebuuk back into [[Gozog'nok|Gozog’nok]]. | But the Sebuuk had miscalculated.
