When the Eye of Morrow created Wyld and let it loose upon the world they and the six wielded it to consume the gods and imprison the shards. They knew that some of the shards would be too powerful to be captured. To ensure none escaped they launched the Briar Inquisition. This elite force of mortals spread across the lands weeks before the ceremony to track and find each of the most powerful shards and when the time was right they struck at once. Thousands died but they were a hundred percent successful. When the deed was done the inquisition moved to collect and catalog as many of the relics of the shards as they could then most either retired to face the nightmares of what they did and saw, or join the fight against the undead.

You feckin fools let Kontaro get away? I didn’t lose a thousand of my kin in the burning sands to hear at our heart you failed us. Let the Wrens chase him I’m going home to see if I have a home left.
