Background

In -3505 AR, when trying to use the Doorway to the Red Star's powers to dominate the surrounding region, the King of Biting Ants was defeated by Old-Mage Jatembe and the warriors who would subsequently be known as the Ten Magic Warriors.✝ Although some legends state that the King of Biting Ants was destroyed by Jatembe, who then sealed up the ruins of the Doorway to the Red Star, in truth he was only driven to Akiton through the Doorway alongside his acolytes. When his defeat was imminent, he hid a few component ants in the ruins around the Doorway to the Red Star, which eventually came together to create the Vesicant Egg, an artifact that would allow him to return.
