Earthnodes

Legend

“Earthnodes are places in our World where the Astral is leaking Mana uncontrolled, or where the leak is sealed and tamed with a Astral Site/Gate.”

Skjald El Mary

 

History

Earthnodes have been known since long before the Archaic helped the Boriac raise the first astral sites. As far as we know, both to control the fragmental leaks from growing and also to create a more secure pattern of steady gates across the World as leaking rifts can close themselves or be forced shut and then gone forever.

It’s worth recalling that there’s a huge difference between a wild Earthnode capable of great aid and surprises and one tamed into the framework of an astral site. As those are as good as totally useless for anything but Astravelers, unless one… naa, I won’t elaborate on that.

Organisation

At an Earthnode, the influence from the Mana Sea is stronger than elsewhere; some say this is due to a really thin buffer separating us, and a Mana Manipulator needs to be careful with setting things in motion. Either energies can be tenfold stronger or creatures can breach through coveting the strong Aura Colour.

Even though it’s decorated fine… it’s all hoax and mime…

Raw, it floats on the ground… free from any strong bound.

Special

Generally, the Earthnodes are also the home, or preferred resting place, of skilled individuals of great powers or odd Monsters.
