Edath

Edath is a world filled with both wonder and peril, where the forces of nature and magic coexist in a delicate balance. At its heart lies an enigma of colossal proportions: a vast portal to the Elemental Plane of Fire, a scorching abyss of searing flames and incalculable energy. This immense portal, known as the Infernal Maw, is both a source of awe and terror for the inhabitants of Edath.
The Immolation Core: The Immolation Core, residing at the planet's core, is an ever-present spectacle in Edath's night sky. Its fiery tendrils reach outwards, casting an eerie, reddish glow. This portal serves as a reminder of the world's intrinsic connection to elemental forces, but it is also a source of immense danger. When the Core's influence waxes, the planet experiences periods of scorching heatwaves and volatile weather. But, the power destructive power has been sealed for now.
The Great Rift: A profound mystery and a growing concern for the world's inhabitants is the Great Rift, a colossal chasm that extends across vast expanses of land and sea, linking Edath to the Elemental Plane of Fire. The origin of this rift remains shrouded in myth and legend, but one prevailing tale speaks of a long-forgotten civilization that delved deep into the planet's core in a reckless bid to harness its power. The cataclysmic results of their hubris led to the creation of the rift, a scar on Edath that threatens its very existence.
The Slow Creep of Destruction: While the Great Rift poses a grave danger, its catastrophic impact is believed to be millennia away. Many of Edath's scholars and leaders assure the populace that they have ample time to find a solution. Yet, a growing number of dissenting voices warn that complacency could lead to dire consequences. These discordant murmurs have led to a division among the world's inhabitants, with some advocating for desperate measures to avert the eventual disaster, while others cling to the hope of finding a peaceful solution.
