But even though her wrists poured blood, [[Ilth Hale]] did not die. [[Vol]] was caught up in battle against [[Arisetsu]], God of Hope. In the aftermath of the [[God War]], [[Vol]] and [[Arisetsu]] were the only gods left capable of fighting, so they fought alone. All the other gods watched, exhausted or dying, unable to intervene. So death and hope fought for a seeming eternity, each growing stronger by feeding from the energy of dead gods that swirled about the battlefield.
[[Vol]]'s battle did not seem to be ending, yet [[Ilth Hale]] sat and waited, naked, bleeding, and outraged. Finally she screamed, her voice echoing across the world. "[[Vol]] swore to usher dead humans to the soul sea. But he has forsaken me, god of humans! So too shall I forsake death, and all that is good and beloved of [[Vol]]." And [[Ilth Hale]], the woman, became a god again. But this time, fueled by the teachery of [[Kirad]], the callousness of [[Vol]], and the anguish of her mythic blade, [[Ilth Hale]] was reborn as the god of Sorrow and the Forsaken.
Gathering dark power from the battlefield, [[Ilth Hale]] rose into the sky. She found a hole in the sky that she had never seen before: the entrance to [[Acur]], the dark dimension. Now able to perceive it, she flew headlong into it and claimed it as her home.
