The Champion rises from the dust of the Coliseum and, with the aid of Providence, creates the Vortex into which he sends the Demon Overlords, capturing the Lord and his minions within what is dubbed 'The Gateway'. To protect The Gateway, the Champion severs the land, forming two Islands from the one.

Sensing a pending inability to remain self-sustaining and provide food to the Gateway Isle, the people of Mists send a contingent to the Keeper requesting his aid. The Keeper raises the Isle of 'Green Fields' at the farthest point from its sister island. Many of the people of Mists depart the plague-ridden land, taking with them those plants and creatures that were yet to be affected by illness.
