My realm was reset after stuttering

I had gone back to Abeyance to experiment with minor cards. I had applied the Treasury card to farm essence since I figured I should just be able to use the Crossways to go back to my Sylvan's Cradle realm. I opened my map and returned to corssways to reopen the Portal and the game stuttered ever so slightly and the portal just didn't open. I tried to reopen it again, still nothing happening. I remove the card to try and reopen a the portal entirely, this whole time being extremely careful NOT to click the reset realm box and this time it works. I enter the realm and glide down to where my base is and it's just gone. Completely. The Realm was reset.
