	'''~~The~~ Battle of Leeth''' was the conflict in which the first aether font was destroyed, resulting in the creation of the Wastes. Leeth was the central citadel built around the font — a massive structure of etched conduits and geothermal mechanisms that served as the heart of the Verdant Cradle's civilization.		'''Calythera Archives – Entry 52 – Battle of Leeth'''

	The battle ~~lasted several days~~ and ~~involved thousands of combatants from rival factions fighting for control~~ of the ~~font~~. ~~Early hemotech devices and forge arrays were used in~~ a ~~desperate~~ struggle ~~that escalated to total destruction. The exact cause~~ of the font~~'s failure remains unknown to~~ the ~~public record, but the resulting explosion wiped out~~ the ~~Cradle's developed areas~~ and forced the ~~few survivors to migrate north~~.		The Battle of Leeth was the climactic confrontation at the first aether font that marked the height of the Mourning. It was here that Elara Corvayne entered the font chamber, triggering the catastrophic explosion that ended the battle and sealed the fate of the southern cradle. What began as a struggle for control of the font became the defining moment that shattered the old world and forced the birth of the current order. This archive entry records the known details of the battle whose true causes remain shrouded in mystery.

	~~Elara Velythar died~~ during ~~this battle. Torren Velythar, her husband and titled Bulwark~~ of ~~Leeth, held a defensive role protecting key positions with a steam-blade~~.		'''The Battle of Leeth''' was the final major conflict at the first aether font during the events of the Mourning.

	The ~~Battle of Leeth marks~~ the ~~decisive event~~ of the ~~Pre~~-~~Mourning Cataclysm. Its legacy is~~ the Wastes, the ~~scarcity~~ of ~~stable~~ aether, and the ~~cautious systems that govern the present day~~.		== Known Events ==
			----
			Forces from multiple pre-Mourning factions converged on the font in a desperate bid for control. As the battle reached its peak, Elara Corvayne entered the font chamber. Moments later, a blinding blue-white explosion erupted, destroying the font and creating the massive crater that now defines the heart of the Wastes. The blast ended the battle instantly and triggered the wider cataclysm.

			== Aftermath ==
			----
			The destruction of the first font caused continent-wide aether depletion, the formation of the Wastes, and the collapse of the old order. Survivors scattered and eventually rebuilt around the newly discovered second font beneath Ashmourne Spire. The event fundamentally shaped the current debt cycle systems and the cautious approach to aether usage.

			== Unresolved Questions ==
			----
			Official histories describe the battle as a tragic accident caused by unstable aether. However, fragments recovered over the years suggest more deliberate actions and hidden motives. The full truth of why Elara entered the chamber and what really happened remains one of Calythera’s most closely guarded mysteries.
