[[Gale]], longing to impress Mystra, begged her to give him access to forbidden levels of magic, which she repeatedly refused. He sought out a tome containing a scrap of Netherese Weave, hoping to impress his goddess by returning it to her. However, when he opened the book, something shot from the book into his chest, and his body became an unwitting host to an extremely destructive Netherese orb. To keep the orb inhabiting and corrupting his body in check, Gale must continually sate it with powerful magical artefacts - if he fails, the orb will detonate, bearing enough destructive power to bring down even whole cities, and Gale with them. As a punishment for his hubris, Gale lost his position as Chosen, and Mystra ceased contact with him. | [[Gale]], longing to impress Mystra, begged her to give him access to forbidden levels of magic, which she repeatedly refused.

==Legacy== | |||
The world is filled with ancient ruins of fallen Netherese cities. The magic items created in the old Netheril are extremely powerful and valuable, as they were created in a period when magic was at its highest, before Mystra restricted magic for mortals to only 9 levels. | |||
[[Arcane Tower]] resembles the technologies the Netherese once had, and the books on its shelves suggest [[Lenore]] studied them when she created that tower. | |||
