Soul Cairn

The Soul Cairn is a mysterious and ominous realm that is said to exist between the mortal world and the afterlife. It is a desolate and inhospitable place, where the souls of the unclaimed and the bound are doomed to suffer for all eternity. Legends say that the Cairn is ruled by a powerful entity known only as the Keeper, a being of immense power who is said to be both the creator and destroyer of the realm.   The Soul Cairn is a place of great fear and superstition among the people of the mortal world, who believe that any soul trapped within its boundaries is lost forever. This belief has given rise to a number of dark rituals and practices, many of which involve trapping the souls of one's enemies within enchanted objects or other vessels and then consigning them to the Cairn.   Despite the dangers and horrors associated with the Soul Cairn, there are those who seek to unlock its secrets and tap into its vast reserves of power. These individuals are known as Soulbinders, and they are among the most feared and respected mages in the world.   Soulbinders possess a unique understanding of the ways in which souls can be bound and manipulated, and they are able to tap into the power of the Cairn to accomplish great feats of magic. However, their powers come at a steep price, for the Soul Cairn is a realm of darkness and despair, and those who dabble too deeply in its mysteries are said to risk losing their very souls.   Despite the many dangers associated with the Soul Cairn, there are some who are willing to risk everything to gain access to its secrets. Whether they seek to unlock the mysteries of the afterlife, or simply to gain power and wealth beyond measure, the Soul Cairn remains a place of great fascination and terror for all who dwell in the mortal world. Some even consider the Soul Cairn to be the 8th Hell, despite it having no real "God" as its ruler.
