Thalassas

The Bleak Wastes is a vast, barren stretch of land on the Isle of Sorrow, dominated by cracked earth and withered trees. In the distance, the sky is always overcast, casting a grey pallor over the dead landscape. The air here is heavy with sorrow, and the winds carry faint, mournful cries that seem to echo from the past. Legends tell that the Bleak Wastes were once a lush forest, but a great disaster—an ancient curse or a forgotten war—turned it into a wasteland. Among the twisted, leafless trees are ruins of an old temple, half-buried in the earth, where it’s said that the souls of those who perished there wander eternally. The ground itself is treacherous, with sudden sinkholes that swallow the unwary. Some say that beneath the Wastes, in the depths of the ruins, lies a tomb holding a powerful artifact—a relic capable of lifting the curse… if one dares to face its guardians.
