Deathlands

The cities of the empire are each encircled by crackling lightning towers to keep out the vengeful spirits and twisted horrors of the deathlands. [1]: 1
Outside the few Imperial settlements, most Severosi live in nomadic horse-tribes scattered across the blasted deathlands, surviving within the ruins of ancient arcane fortresses which still repel spirits. [1]: 53
From hard-won experience or occult ritual, you are immune to the poisonous miasma of the deathlands and are able to subsist on the strange flora and fauna there. [1]: 67
The city is densely packed inside the ring of immense lightning towers that protect it from the murderous ghosts of the blighted deathlands beyond. [1]: 237
Horrors are non-human electroplasmic entities that live within the ghost field. They’re very rare within the city, but are common in the deathlands beyond the lightning barriers. [1]: 252
Beyond the lightning barriers, the world is a wasteland of petrified trees, ash, and choking clouds of miasma. Restless ghosts ceaselessly search for the faintest spark oflife essence upon which to prey. [1]: 255
