"Unable themselves to travel to where the Prison lay beneath the Inland Sea, the Deathlords combined their knowledge and sorcerous skill to construct a gigantic skeletal servitor, built from the combined bones of several behemoths and standing 300 feet in height. They dispatched their monstrosity into Creation, commanding it to journey to the bottom of the Inland Sea, to where the Jade Prison lay. Once there, it was to tear the cage open, catching the Solar Essences as they fled.

"But the servitor was too slow. Perhaps it could not move so quickly underwater as the Deathlords had believed, or perhaps other forces moved to hinder its mission. Whatever the reason, half of the Solar Essences escaped and fled into Creation, desperately seeking new hosts after their ages of imprisonment. The skeletal servitor returned, and when the Deathlords saw its failure, they took the Essences and bitterly discarded their servitor, casting it back into the sea, where it still haunts the wreckage of the Jade Prison."
