The Nexus Crystal

== Summary ==
* Event took place between April 7th and April 21st, 2000.
* First part of the event involved large numbers of Shadow creatures invading various towns.
* The initial attack began with Shadow forces led by the Shadow Captains attacking the town of Fort Tethana followed by Plateau Village and then Stonehold.
* The second attack was led by a Shadow aspect of Black Ferah. They invaded Wai Jhou and then Kara after the aspect of Black Ferah's was killed. After being killed again at Kara, Black Ferah then moved to the Shadow Spire nearby where she is defeated a third time.
* The third attack was led by a Shadow aspect of Ler Rhan. He arrived in the A'mun Desert Shadow Spire and then appeared later on at the Wilderness Spire bordering the Aluvian realm and then finally at the Black Mire Swamps Spire after being killed by players.
* Black Ferah reappeared, this time at a Shadow Spire in the northern Direlands. After she was defeated, Ler Rhan and his army renew their attack in Osteth. However, this time portals have opened at the spires found in Cragstone, Eastham, Khayyaban, Sawato, Tou-Tou and Tufa.
* Players entered each of the six spires and kill the Spire Shadows found there. The Shadows dropped chunks to a key, requiring players to work together to combine the six pieces and complete the two spire keys.
* A portal to the Nexus opens. Players entered and defeated the Nexus Shadow Captain guarding two locked doors. After defeating the captain and using the spire keys, they finally reached the Nexus Crystal in its chamber.
* The Nexus Crystal was destroyed on all servers and dropped a once-per-server gem that could was crafted by each of the three master smiths for a suit of Nexus Armor. Koujia Nexus Armor was never created on any of the retail servers.

* The Nexus Crystal event is mentioned in the ingame text, General History of Dereth Vol. V.
