Ley Line

Historical Context

It is a geometrical truth that between two points exist a straight line. This, plus a map of the Adlakian countryside, gave rise to the notion of ley lines crisscrossing Adlak in the 9th and early 10th centuries. A Lowlands antiquarian, Alfred Watkins, proposed that dead-straight ancient highways linking sacred sites in the Lowland countryside could be found if one looked hard enough. While his theory was dismissed by archaeologists, who noted that true ancient highways were often rambling, it was taken up again by New Age devotees in 1960 CE. Instead of ancient highways, these “ley lines” that linked sacred sites were veins in which the Asyur’s mystical energies flowed. Where lines crossed would be sites of great spiritual and chthonic power, places that, if harnessed, could unleash the potential in the landscape and in the individual.
