The Rim

Legend

“Once people in ships, mounted, or at foot, could travel across.”

“Cultural exchanges flowed, and trade was prosperous.”

Skjald Sejrik

 

Description

A impassable mountainous range stretching across the entire planet, even at sea they stretch in an endless belt. What heights these must have out there in The Deep Blue.

The mountains surely are not just normal rocks. They are seemingly reducing the energetic flow, maybe due their creation out of released Astral energies, mixed with worldly ley line streams, and leaking energies of The Void .

We still do not understand it fully, but its mitigating effects also influence the mind of anyone going there, and many simply becomes lost and die due the cold and exhaustion.

“A few strongwille have managed to cross, and lived to tell of the paths.”

~Skjald El Mary

 

History

First Age

When the divines made the world the Rim did not exist. Although there were single mountains and ranges of peaks with connected foothills, there was no division like the present. The hostile mountains across the World was easier to round or cross

Second Age

Both Darin and Armelien stretched further south, but in the 1st Cataclysm the world warped, bent, and folded, a single mountain range almost flung up and divided the world in halves. When the world cooled and relaxed again, we could behold the Rim, spanning the entire world. Although a few passages still existed, where ships or caravans at foot could cross.

Fourth Age

Sadly, when Ljostari sank, the Gods seemingly decided that there should never be another incursion of Wanderers. So as the world was shaking, bending, and warping once more, They decided to share their forces and pour insane amounts of Astral energies into our world and have it seal the rim, cutting our world in half. Since then, only a handful of heroes have found ways down south and back again.

To our surprise, Ye'Til and Aquerian seemingly can ignore the bewildering effects of the Rim and cross it as they see fit. Because they swarmed across it like waves over a sandy beach.

“Seemingly The Great Invasion didn’t influence on the rim. .”

~Skjald Ulrich

 

Cartography

The tall mountain belt spans the entire world, all the way from Darin to Outlands, and also runs below Midgard all the way there connecting the ring.

There are a lot of rare animal with precious furs to be hunted, and some pretty scary monsters one can risk facing. The Rim is also filled with precious gems, minerals, and Combat Herbs.

“Of the very few humans living there, Izir, and Mawmen are the majority.”

~Skjald Sigurd

 

Special

Don’t go there and count on survival based on your Magic Paths as they aren’t working there.

“The flow is odd, at times halts midstreaming, bringing disaster.”
