The Students of Life and Death, along with every other member of the Dream Tether, received a message from Talus, formerly known as Gift, concerning the retrieval of the Divinaxiom and his plans on using it.
At the end of that message, Thrax suddenly realized a new god had been born and immediately understood the ramifications of what had happened with the Divinaxiom and Gideon.
Thrax got to work quickly telling the Students that the only way the gods of this world survive this is if he has his family with him. To that end, he asked the Students to go find his mother, who he said was buried in Jawhara.
If the Students could free her, the gods stood a chance against Talus. He told them to find a cleric in Jemenda who could help them locate and uncover his mother.
Before Thrax could finish explaining, Talus appeared in Poppins's home next to him, and the second Constellation War began.
As Talus and Thrax fought across Heron's Harbor, leaving destruction and death in their wake, the Students rallied across the city and evacuated as many Kindred as possible.
With the help of Tal'Tal Aah, they were able to get many ships out to sea, as well as save the massive heron's eggs.
Despite getting so many to safety, the fight between the gods killed hundreds upon hundreds, and Heron's Harbor was practically wiped out.
Thrax retreated to elsewhere as the fight went sour for the god of death, and while Talus was disappointed his quarry had gone, he claimed he had a list to start on instead.
The Students decided to take the ship they found themselves on and head towards Jawhara, with a plan to try to mitigate as much loss of life as possible across Vault as the gods began yet another war.
