A world full of magic and wonder that is half diseased with The Mournshape on half the planet.


Author's Note: The planet is divided into two hemispheres: The Luminous Half – Known as Elarion, this side flourishes with magic, beauty, and abundant life. Peaceful kingdoms, floating cities, songbirds and sunshine. The Withered Half – Known as Ghalvarak, this half is cursed, overrun by The Mournshape. Dead forests, corrupted beasts, eldritch ruins, and a twilight sky.

The Murkborn are a unique race born from the harrowing experience of surviving the raw heart of the Mournshape. With shadowy skin, hollow voices, and eyes that shimmer like oil-slick stars, they walk a fine line between sanity and madness, often blessed with prophetic insight. Immune to fear effects, they can glimpse into the Ethereal Plane and are guided by whispered voices that may grant them advantage on insight or arcana checks, though they may also suffer from unsettling visions of ruin.
