Severance Tear
The Severance Tear is the edge of the universe in which Azimuth is found. It is the barrier between this world and all others. It is sometimes described as a shroud that covers the universe, preventing interaction and stopping travel through it.
Description
Beyond the Outer Planes and the endless expanse of the Astral Plane, is the Severance Tear, a great slash in the universe. This rip was formed when the Universe of Azimuth was cut from the interconnected fabric of the multiverse, severing its connections to other universes and worlds. It was by the power of multiple gods in the Age of Creations that Azimuth was forced out in this way. Though the process they used to achieve this is unknown, information included in The Decayed Tomes, states there is "A mechanism that fuels the Tear. Four Siphons and Four Keys. The elements shall now prevent the divine." These Siphons were placed in the Elemental Chaos to take the raw energy of the inner planes and fuel the Severance Tear, keeping Azimuth cut from the old gods mentioned in creation myths. Though unconfirmed, it may be possible through the use of incredibly rare and incredibly powerful magics to peer beyond the Severance Tear, as was done by an unknown bird from a place far away. However, it is believed that any such vision would be incomplete or would become distorted from the shrouding effect of the Severance.History
The First Age: The Age of Creations
According to the myth of the Severance, at the end of the First Age, the first gods that came to Azimuth warred with each other over the fate of the world. By the effort of some of those gods, the plane was cut from the reach of all divines through unknown means. Azimuth was set adrift, and the Severance Tear was created.
