The Rim

Legend

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

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 mountain mountains across the World was easier to round or cross

Both Darin and Armelien stretched further south, but in the 1st Cataclysm when the world warped, bent, and folded itself into a sphere, a single mountain range almost flung up and mostly divided the world in halves. When the world cooled and relaxed again, the Rim spanned the entire world but had several passages 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 a way down south and back again.

 

Much 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.

Cartography

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

Its an odd range of mountains dimming Magic like no where else; in fact, magic becomes stronger the further one gets away from that equatoric belt. It’s also an extremely cold, windy, and hostile environment, as it’s furthest away from the sun circling the world in its ecliptic travel.

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, Herbs, and the like.

Only very few Human live there; the most are the Izir.

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