Wyld
“The Wyld” stands as a mystical and enigmatic expanse, elusive and ever-changing, located at the very edges of the known world. Far more than a mere wilderness, it is a realm steeped in powerful magic, constantly shifting and transforming, making any attempt at mapping a futile endeavor. Those who claim to guide through The Wyld rely less on geographic knowledge and more on an intuitive understanding of its unpredictable nature.
Contrary to common belief that The Wyld is merely the vast, unexplored domain beyond Zenith City, it intrudes more insidiously into the known world. Within the borders of the four major countries, pockets of The Wyld exist, mysteriously exempting only Ceil Nior and Celestia from its reach. This arcane wilderness harbors a unique and unsettling capability: it can engulf abandoned centers of civilization within a country and transport them to its deep, uncharted territories.
This phenomenon adds a layer of enigma to The Wyld. Ancient towns, derelict mines, and ruins of forgotten settlements can disappear overnight, only to reemerge deep within the heart of The Wyld. These remnants of mortal civilization, now part of this ever-transforming landscape, stand as eerie monuments to the past. The disappearance of entire communities into The Wyld remains a subject of hushed speculation, with no concrete evidence to explain these mysterious vanishings.
Also known by other names, most notably ‘Beyond the Veil’, The Wyld continues to allure adventurers and treasure seekers. For every intrepid explorer who manages to retrieve ancient relics and return to a life of affluence, dozens are lost forever in its depths. Yet, the promise of untold riches and the belief in being the exception rather than the rule persist, drawing many into the perilous and unpredictable embrace of The Wyld.
