The Direlights
Two mystical auroras strive against each other, backlighting this desperate warrior. Have the spells been invoked by allies, or do sorcerous foes beset him on all sides? Perhaps the energy has a source outside Dereth altogether. In the tradition of certain Gharu'ndim mystics and madmen, a far country exists where new worlds compete to break the fabric of space and spawn new portals. Has this adventurer stumbled upon such a place? Has some strange new menace ripped the veil between worlds and entered Dereth, and if so, what price will we all pay if he fails to withstand it?
