RS108 The effulgent white stone of the White Mesas is thought to have been especially valuable to ancient erjans, and likely sacred. Countless important structures—monuments, tombs, and temples—litter the full expanse occupied by the Mesas, built and often carved outright[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
RS109 As mentioned, The White Mesas extend from Ras Huran to the edge of the sylph territory of Llyri. In the shadow of the “erjan” side of the White Mesas lies the remains of the town of Amnu, inhabited until[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
RS110 Residents of Amnu maintained not only travelers to the White Mesas, but the mesas themselves; one of the most continual and exhausting tasks was in keeping the cliff faces nearly ash-free through the use of tools, solvents, and well-developed[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Eidola, perhaps owing to their vanishingly small numbers, do their best to get by in societies in which they’re largely unwelcome; conversely, suneaters lean into their[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
RS115 Impressive though suneater technology may be, it is nevertheless difficult to maintain, owing to Erj’s harsh climate; ash, sun, heat, and sand all conspire to inflict considerable natural wear on the lens of a scope as much as the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
RS116 It would not be accurate to say that suneaters do not understand the concept of ‘years’—they simply do not subscribe to it. Sun worshipers that they are, a day is the largest unit by which suneaters enumerate durations of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
