	After the [[Olthoi]] invasion and Asheron's collapsing the Portal Network, the [[Yalaini]] did not get the Gear Knight Embassy to their Portal before the network was collapsed and they were trapped on [[Auberean]]. Though the Gearknights proved formidable while defending against the Olthoi, after time, the Gear Knights were running low on Aetherium. The Empyrean survivors opened a portal to [[Dereth]] for them, in the hope the Gear Knights could find enough [[Aetherium]] on the island to keep them working. The Empyreans taught those that didn't know the spell for detecting Aetherium how to do so, and the Copper Cog members of the embassy also have the ability to detect it over a limited range. <ref name=Interactions/>		After the [[Olthoi]] invasion and Asheron's collapsing the Portal Network, the [[Yalaini]] did not get the Gear Knight Embassy to their Portal before the network was collapsed and they were trapped on [[Auberean]].
