How about this:

The expedition to the Sea of Sand, though it diverted from the war effort, had paid off nicely in the form of some forgotten artifacts from an unknown
time. The strange twisted towers had proto Kryie writing etched along its
surfaces which spoke of an rare astronomical alignment with the planet which
with some further inquiry with the general pointed to a time in the near future.
But what would happen? Strange coincidence in finding this now. And the
strange happenings and effects of these warped structures:

Memory loss,distortion, loss of time, changes in mental and physical abilities, warped or nullified powers and even claims of teleportation between these structures in the wastes.

The time has come for the alignment event, and we are not alone as others have found us and the towers, and are waiting for what is to come...

When the alignment was due, the towers opened rips in reality and from them came the new comers...

Few looked like the humans from Earth and the known places but the rest....
from realms or dimensions that even the Kyrie could not fathom.
All with strange new abilities and no fixed allegiance... yet..

Some battled with each other upon arrival as if instinct demanded as such, as the
fearsome hulking dark mauve creature. Upon its arrrival it crushed squads of Zettian Guards like paper and tossed them like game pieces upon a child's gameboard.

Another .. A winged demonic entity radiating terror and despair ....Simply cracked a leathery faced smile at the spectacle of mayhem and rifts and departed to places unknown.

The rifts and the alignment has passed but the rifts still open and close with no rhyme nor reason... releasing unknown boons and unknown terrors.

One thing was certain, what was discovered in the Sea of Sand would
shift the balance of power, for who.... it would be hard to say.
