THE TIDEFALL SANCTUARY

The Rift Pilgrim Hidden Sanctuary on Marinthos

Located in coral caverns beneath the Great Spine, revealed only during certain tides or bioluminescent patterns.

Inside:

• coral mirrors used to study rift echoes

• tidepools that reflect impossible constellations

• ancient carved glyphs from pre-Fracture starasects

• driftwood walkways over glowing water

• a hidden archive of dimensional mistakes

The Sanctuary feels like a fold in reality, humming gently with currents from somewhere else.

✦ NARRATIVE VALUE

Placing the Pilgrims in Coralhold Drift gives you:

1. A spiritual heart for the Freecrews

The Coralhold Drift’s mystics aren’t shamans or prophets—
they’re astral navigators who see too far and too deeply.

2. A bridge between the mundane and the cosmic

The Coralhold Drift becomes not only a cultural capital but a cosmic crossroads.

3. Hooks for cosmic-level threats

When something goes wrong with the Rifts,
the Pilgrims call for the captains.
When something goes wrong at Coralhold,
the Pilgrims warn the stars.

4. A foundation for major arcs

• Rift storms

• Interdimensional incursions

• Lost Pilgrim sects

• Ancient cosmic debts

• Dimensional sickness

• A star collapsing in the wrong way

The Drift becomes the place where those stories begin.
