Crisis of Skythos

In the Voldranic year twenty-two, a crisis emerged on Skythos. Members of the Dravii Academy of the Arcane began experimenting with portals, the experiments backfired entirely causing the deadlands to begin acting up. The center of the deadlands collapsed on itself, revealing a rather menacing looking inactive nether portal. The Academy took the portal and moved it deep underground, where they could test experiments on it without being too concerned about releasing a ghast or some other terrible creature.
The portal was successfully moved, but as the Academy mages began their first experiments, it activated. Releasing Tynthak, The Bane of Tyko. The release of Tynthak was unexpected, and very costly. Almost all of the mages who were experimenting on the portal were killed right then and there by Tynthak. News of the tragedy reached the Lord Patriarch of the Dravii, who was greatly annoyed at the unwanted return of Tynthak. A special team of fifteen of the most qualified Dravii was formed, led by Citarx Valix. Their job was to imprison or kill Tynthak before he could harm anyone else.
As the team was being assembled, it was learned that Tynthak got up to Skythos and was opening up portals in the streets, releasing hordes of Nether creatures. The Second, Sixth, and Eighth Dravii Guard companies were amassed and sent to Skythos almost immediately. What followed was a very devastating conflict that ended over a thousand lives, and led to the re-imprisonment of Tynthak.
Its unknown how Tynthak was imprisoned, or where he was imprisoned at. The Academy of the Arcane kept it a secret, and the Dravii remained silent on the matter. The people of Skylyn have since referred to the incident as the Crisis of Skythos, and have since been suspicious of the Academy of the Arcane. As a sign of good faith the Academy of the Arcane publicly announced that due to the crisis, they would have slightly stricter rules regarding experiments to prevent another crisis from occurring.
