Helios
A large, bustling city built on a chunk of land in the Astral Sea between the plates of Avistym and Flostym. The city itself sprawls across the land, built into and around large and mostly preserved ruins of a society that came before. Many of the buildings be...
The Mana Wail
The Mana Wail is less of a destination and more of a blight upon the Astral Sea. It is a traveling storm cloud that roams the Astral Sea seemingly at random. Its unpredictable travel paths mean that encountering it is often a dire risk, even when one’s route t...
Caeloraan Temple
A temple found within the Astral Sea, which depicts the legend of how Simuhay came to be in its current state, as well as where each species came from. Multiple murals are present. On the outside is a mural depicting the ascension of the Mana and the fracturi...
The Genesis Kiln
A device created by the Caeloraan, motivated by the destruction of their civilization, to open pathways to worlds unsundered by the Mana’s ascension. The Genesis Kiln was used to great and terrible effect - it did indeed create portals to unknown realms, but t...
Recordings from the Genesis Kiln's entrance
When the Mana ascended to their divine forms, they viewed the moon with contempt- as their final mortal act as a collective, seeing themselves as bright as the stars in the heavens that guide moorless sailors at sea, they gifted the small moon a personality- a...
The Mana's Ascension and The Shattering
The Mana, an ancient race brought into existence by Astaroth, rejected their mortality and attempted to ascend to godhood. In order to fuel such a dramatic ascension, they callously used the Hearts of the Lands - the very gemstones that regulated the fabric of...
The Creation of Further Sentient Life
After the Mana’s Ascension and the departure of many of the gods of Simuhay, some of those gods that remained began to gift the remaining non-sentient creatures with various gifts. Two of these gifts are Soul, the ability to feel as gifted by Haku, and Mind, t...
The Cleaving
"The Calamity", "The Collapse", and so on. There are many different names for the event, but they all refer to the same thing: a cataclysmic event that caused the complete shattering of the old world, and simultaneously sent many of those who were not killed i...
Excerpt from Kayde's Notes:
I kind of didn't realize just how much I've been able to learn since the Collapse… On the one hand, the Collapse was obviously a disastrous event that caused so much suffering. But on the other hand, I doubt I would've discovered any of this information if I w...
Xena, on the Calamity
"I know it's a little fucked up to say but...in a way? I'm glad we're in this new world. Sure, it's not perfect, but...at least I have some hope finding everyone I grew up with. Still, we can't be idle. If we are, something awful is going to happen,"
Koebi's Journal
"I worked hard to earn my place at the Cascades, and I used my entire stipend to build my workshop. It was all mine... all ours. And then one day, everything broke. Swallowed by the ground and ruined. The cube may be the only reason I survived and ended up whe...
Scattered personal notebook of Logan
"Ironically for how large an event it was, I was barely there to witness it! Sothe whisked me and Jackson away to safety just as it was started, then I end up waking up in a whole new place months later! Who knows what I missed in that time? I had only just b...

Valefor's Archive / Kendan's Request to Valefor
...It's just, this new world, there's something deeply very wrong here. I've seen it. You've seen it. Things are happening here that aren't... normal. By any means. And it's starting to make me feel deeply troubled. ......... Do we... have a deal?
Excerpt from Kayde's Notes
That gnoll woman, on her shoosuva, started to absorb the lifeforce of all the entities in that summoning circle… and when all was said and done, a blighted crater was all that was left. That was the last we saw of that woman, whoever she was. I have a deep sen...
An excerpt from Xena’s journal
”This is the single most fucked thing I’ve seen. The fact Greg’s mentor actually managed to escape out of this place without an airship is…fuck. Scary as hell. That giant whatever-Sah’reii’s-sidekick thing was horrifying. It almost bit us out of the air! And t...
Rath Rosarea's Death

Koebi's Journal
