The discovery of these Chasmfiends containing such valuable gemhearts completely altered the course of the [[War of Reckoning]]. Attempting to directly attack the [[Parshendi]] base, located far into the [[Shattered Plains]], was incredibly risky and expensive. However when Chasmfiends climbed onto a plateau to pupate, the highprinces[[highprince]]s and Parshendi alike would extend themselves to attempt to retrieve its now-vulnerable gemheart.

During the War of Reckoning, [[highprince]] [[Roion]] was the one who captured the least gemhearts.
