Beyond the Pantheon

Old Dangers, Still Waiting

Not deities. Not quite ordinary villains either, the ones no single nation's page fully accounts for.

Some threats belong to a city, a state, a single campaign, worth a mention on whichever page they haunt, and no more. A small handful don't fit that shape. They're bigger than any one border, old enough to predate most of the nations that fear them, and not confirmed gone even when everyone would prefer to say so. This is where Miranda keeps track of them.

The Cadaverous Coven Five epic-level, immortal undead beings, bound by ambitions that outlast any mortal war. Horkos is one of them. Enter → Lathian Macao's own reflection, born from a cursed mirror, a living duplicate that survived, and never stopped being dangerous. Enter → Raven An archwizard. Just Raven, no title, no article, and that omission is apparently deliberate. Enter →

Beyond the Nations

Notable Regions

Places that don't belong to any single continent's page, borders, wilds, and everything between.

God's Home Mountains The border range between Voir and Seug, deserted, inhospitable, and home to three ruined temples that Seug's people still make pilgrimage to. Enter → The Takli Malan Desert The long stretch of desert separating Voir and Pyth: caravan roads, ancient ruins, and country no one's fully mapped. Enter →
