Shimmering Manifestation in Lightholder

Fastheld - A mysterious energy manifestation of some kind has materialized in the midst of Lightholder Crossroads, suspended about five feet above the ground and stretching vertically several feet, like a seam has torn in the air. Imperial soldiers are moving into position to prevent anyone from making contact with the strange "rift," which is believed to be a form of Shadow-Touched magic.
