After [[Gahlran, the Sorrow-Bearer]] went insane, the ensuing Hive corruption tore part of the [[Leviathan]] between normal space and the [[Ascendant realm]]. [[Emperor Calus]] located Bad Juju sometime after this hoping to lure out Toland, unaware that his physical form had been destroyed. A month later, [[The Guardian]] discovered the place aboard the Leviathan where Calus had left Bad Juju, whose [[Ahamkara]] essence had gone out of control and affected the distorted parts of the ship. | After [[Gahlran, the Sorrow-Bearer]] went insane, the ensuing Hive corruption tore part of the [[Leviathan]] between normal space and the [[Ascendant realm]].
