RS057 With little exception, the Erjan landscape is composed of various qualities of desert. However, although windswept sand and rock dominate an overwhelming majority of Erj’s real estate, other biomes do exist. The Southern mountains are perhaps the most famous[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
RS058 That mires are as dangerous as they are hardly stops intrepid sportsmen from braving them for trophies. The massive cephalopods that dwell in the liquid sand are considered a test of one’s courage and tactical skill, and teams of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
RS059 The mountainous clouds that tower over the Erjan horizon by day are seldom seen at night, appearing almost to follow the sun as it sinks from view. This phenomenon is not entirely understood, but it does offer a nightly,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
RS060 The stars offer few long-term navigation solutions for travelers, by foot or by ship—each new star that appears in the West will vanish permanently below the Eastern horizon in a matter of months. A record of these ‘dead’ stars[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
RS061 The sylph believe the moon to have once been their home, and that its destruction was a punishment from Ybris, casting them from their celestial paradise to survive in the ash-eaten waste of Erj. The nature of the sylph’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

RS063 Very few sylph ever leave Llyri, and thus it is difficult to ascertain what proportion of the population can safely breathe ash without toxic results. Rough estimates are as high as one in eight; The Celestial Heritage Conservatory, however,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
RS064 Those rare sylph who can breathe ash and, thus, traverse Erj freely, are still rarely found in erjan settlements. To say the least, each of the four races’ general opinion of the others is less than high, and lines[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
RS065 Ash-adjusted sylph primarily leave Llyri on state business—most often, to help the Conservatory piece together their species’ past through archaeological expedition. Excursions into the Landing Vale—the great valley in upper Llyri—and even into the erjan wasteland beyond have proved[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
RS066 One of the most important technologies recovered from sylph expeditions to Llyri’s outer reaches is the battery, a device which stores an electrical current for later use. Though the sylph do not have the means to replicate the technology—certainly[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
