In the Battle of Šadullu (1501 DE), the Covenant general Ptah took on an entire army of storm archons. Alone he battled both army and their leader, the primordial thinker Eysveig. When this primordial army breached Ptah's sky citadel Tiwa'erra, his trap was sprung. Ptah released the field containing all the psychic energy stored in the bastion's walls. This caused the energy to suck inward, an implosion, then it reverberated back from Tiwa'erra's core; better known today as the Ink Sphere. All of this is thought to have been caused by Ptah's use of a psionic power called Split Time.
There have been two known cases of someone splitting time, that is to create two time-lines from one and then merge them back to one - even one affecting just a small area, can cause devastating affects. Ptah destroyed Tiwa'erra with this power, and the Lith-Crillion did the same to the Womb of Entropy.
- Kavdas, excerpt from his book - "Time Dynamics"
Destroyed in the explosion, the remnants of Tiwa'erra showered down as millions of shards, littering the landscape with crystals that once served as Tiwa'erra's superstructure.
Shards of Tiwa'erra are quite valuable to users of psychic energy. They serve as a psionic reservoir with one power point per pound of material. It is because of this boon, that armor made of Shards of Tiwa'erra are of immense value to them.
