Netherese

Citadel of New Horizons

Builders raise a citadel at the edge of the known world and leave gates for worlds not yet imagined.

Historians catalog ruins before they happen, hoping to warn the cities that will become them.

Roads flow like water here, and travelers cast nets for forgotten destinations.

Rain rises from the earth and waters cloud orchards above the mountains.

Lanterns grow from the trees and shine only when a traveler tells the truth.

Ancient machines raise the sun by hand, and the valley wakes to the sound of gears.

Caravans cross suspended bridges between continents divided by a bottomless sky.

Nomads herd lightning and build temporary cities from thunder.
