Gyle

Gyle is an enigmatic figure in Highland history, so ancient that their name has faded into folklore & myth. According to the stories, the Vital Stone of Gyle was involved in the creation of the world. A document entitled the Truths of Gyle was seemingly stored in the Dawnholm vaults centuries ago, based on evidence discovered by Garrick Sagemark.

The Vital Stone of Gyle was shattered at some point, with the shards eventually coming into the possession of Banehelm Academy. The Academy was commissioned in secret by Ferec Snowlash of the Vowkeepers to reconstruct the Stone, purportedly to better understand what the Vowbreakers could be capable of with other Vital Stones. According to Avira Emberdane, the resulting experiments ultimately caused The Fracture. Likewise, a quote from Garrick's Journal refers to the inciting phenomenon as "the corruption of Gyle".
