Progress on repairing the Sky Kingdom continued from the aftermath of the [[Space Station Event]] until December 2021 when the server shut down to prepare to update to 1.18. In the interim period during the shutdown, [[Niall]] noticed a severe energy spike near the Parallel Prime Spawn Town rift. When the server reopened, players were forced to rejoin into a secure vault outside of [[Parallel Prime]] because [[Cloudius]] shunted [[Ralnthar]] through the [[Sky Kingdom rift]] to Parallel prime in an attempt to rid himself of the beast. This severely compromised the Parallel Prime Spawn Town rift and contaminated players] equipment with unstable energy, preventing them from entering any world until the rift on Parallel Prime was fixed. After depositing their gear into the vault, players, Niall, Jess, and Red traveled to a new world from the vault: [[Otherside]]. | Progress on repairing the Sky Kingdom continued from the aftermath of the [[Space Station Event]] until December 2021 when the server shut down to prepare to update to 1.18.

Otherside is a parallel overworld to [[Parallel Prime]] that had an abandoned [[Spawn Town]] of its own, with the lone builder [[Willie]]. The new world had its own observatory owned by [[Researcher Lane]], with notes revealing the location of scattered outposts measuring energy readings in various regions of Otherside. [[The Stormgate Keepers]], a mysterious society scattered throughout the greater Parallel multiverse, make their first appearance in Parallel when one of their outposts is also discovered on Otherside. After discovering all of [[Researcher Lane]]'s outposts, the scientist introduces himself to [[Niall]] and the players, where they then go to the [[Citadel]] to retrieve a part needed to catalyze a rift returning to [[Parallel Prime]]. Jess, Niall, and Researcher Lane successfully implement the rift catalyzer to open a stable rift between Otherside and Parallel Prime, overlaying the shopping district to Otherside in the process. The Parallel Prime Spawn Town was severely damaged by Ralnthar's entry, but the process also injured Ralnthar and forced him to retreat to Midas' well, where players stored King Cloudius's treasure the previous June. After rescuing Jess and Lane from being teleported by the Otherside rift to inside Ralnthar's body, Ralnthar awakened but offered players to exchange soul shards with him for loot in a bid to regain his power. | Otherside is a parallel overworld to [[Parallel Prime]] that had an abandoned [[Spawn Town]] of its own, with the lone builder [[Willie]].

In the spring of 2022, [[Niall]] is reported missing. After tracking a trail of what appeared to be blood, as well as following up on information from Niall's previous actions, players located him some weeks later in a fishing village on Parallel Prime. He greeted players cordially but would not tell about his mysterious intentions, though in notebooks he left he wrote about suffering from terrible nightmares and about a vague but important project he was working on. Players also began noticing strange events in the lake underneath Otherside Spawn Town, where Niall said to be on the lookout for the missing explorer [[Captain Cora]] and the creature [[The Lake Lurker]]. [[The Keeper]] makes periodic appearances warning of the impending threat of Ralnthar's minions. | In the spring of 2022, [[Niall]] is reported missing.

[[The Keeper]] makes periodic appearances warning of the impending threat of Ralnthar's minions. Researcher Lane and Jess also begin receiving signals from an object in outerspace, which got progressively stronger and more clear as the object approached Otherside. The signals contained encoded messages from the entities inside the object hinting of an impending challenge. A month later, the object known as the [[Cube Dungeon]] landed in Otherside, providing an immense challenge to players as they combed the cube for loot with Researcher Lane. After retrieving [[gilded blooms]] from the cube, players discover pages from a notebook from the space station officer [[Vanessa Moore]]. After [[Red]] learned this, he used an emergency radio frequency to contact [[Vanessa Moore]] and [[Germaine Hoang]] on Parallel prime, where they detailed what happened when the cube aliens came for them on the space station. | ||
Players established [[Site 85]] to reattempt conquering the Cube Dungeon. Some weeks later Parallel updated to 1.19, revealing farther lands on Otherside to explore. Researcher Lane and Jess noticed unstable energy readings and directed players to a site on Otherside where the carcass of the Ice Dragon [[Ellanti]] was. Researcher Lane revealed that this was the dragon he killed with the [[Weather Machine]], but warned that the machine could have been much more catastrophic than the threat he was trying to eliminate and cautioned against using it. Researcher Lane then hurriedly left the scene after thinking about something, leaving players at the current state of the lore. | |||
