The Withered Lands

The Moaks ascended and promised Moaken. Here their promises rotted before they arrived.

The Withered Lands are the western continent of Mokgard, beyond the Red Desert and the Last Abode. They share with the rest of the world the same sky and the same magic that flows from the Void, but not their gods: here the souls of the dead do not reach Moaken, and the Moaks cannot intervene. In the year 312 of the Third Age, explorers from Rocagris opened a vein of llumun in a northern mountain that the natives had considered cursed. The mountain cracked, the sun vanished for many days, and when it returned, the continent was no longer the same. Almost two hundred years later, the Withering rots the earth, the dead do not rest, and the Sunsets darken the sky more and more often. Something beats beneath the mountain, and each heartbeat is stronger.
