Plane Tear

Plane tears are powerful rifts in the fabric of reality, formed as a consequence of the Sundering and the celestial upheaval that followed. These tears create unstable connections between the material plane and other realms, allowing creatures, energies, and influences from different planes to seep into the world. Each tear manifests uniquely, often reflecting the nature of the realm it connects to, leading to a wide variety of phenomena.

These rifts can be found scattered across the continent, each serving as a gateway to different realms. Some tears might connect to the Shadow Realm, unleashing dark and twisted creatures that bring chaos and despair. Others might lead to elemental planes, introducing volatile forces that reshape the environment and pose a threat to nearby settlements, and unleash small or large elementals upon the area. The presence of a plane tear can alter the local landscape, causing strange weather patterns, bizarre flora and fauna, or unpredictable magical surges.

Plane tears are not merely a hazard; they also hold immense potential. Adventurers and scholars often seek them out, hoping to harness the raw energy that flows through these rifts or to uncover hidden knowledge and artifacts from other realms. However, the dangers of such endeavors are significant, as the chaotic energies can corrupt those who approach too closely or draw malevolent entities into the material plane.
