1. Beginning: The First Shift

Not long after the Earth itself had formed and the world was still young, certain locations across the planet began to develop unusual concentrations of primordial and spiritual energy. These areas acted as natural convergence points where different forms of cosmic, elemental, and metaphysical forces met and intertwined. Over vast stretches of time, the flow of energies in one particular region grew stronger and more unstable, gradually forming a powerful nexus where multiple streams of these ancient forces collided and merged. The intensity of this convergence created a beacon that could be felt across planes of existence, drawing the attention of deities, powerful entities and monsters from distant realms.

As centuries and millennia passed, more of these beings were drawn to the location, either out of curiosity, hunger for power or a desire to claim the nexus for themselves. Some came to observe the strange energies, while others sought to harness them. The nexus became a meeting ground of divine and monstrous presences, a place where beings from different worlds and planes existed in uneasy proximity. However, the delicate balance of these forces eventually shifted. After the arrival of more malevolent Outer Gods, there was a sudden and dramatic change in the flow of the converging energies altered the nature of the nexus itself, transforming it into something far more restrictive. In the aftermath of this shift, many of the deities, entities and monsters that had gathered there discovered they could no longer leave. The nexus had effectively become a supernatural trap, binding them within its growing sphere of influence.
