Wanderers of the Confins
Long ago, the world was an unending, tumultuous sea.
Nothing had a beginning, and nothing had an end.-Then, from this primordial sea came the weaver.
They pulled apart the disorder and formed the grounded world of humans. But, they could not completely get rid of the chaos, and so what was left became what is commonly called the Confins.
Afterwards, they disappeared back into the endless sea.Their heirs formed the first order of exorcists, and continued on by sealing the Old Gods in the Confins.Or so the legend says...-Today, many powers are in dispute over the secrets enclosed in this world.
The ConfinsThis world exists at the frontier of dreams and reason. It has a physical existence, but one can only slip into it through the space between the threads of reality.It is haunted by spirits, old gods and many dangers. Unstable by nature, it is impossible to map out. A dark river runs through it all, seemingly the only thing that ties it all together. This ever changing place is seemingly bathed in a permanent dusk.The Confins are desired by many but owned by none. Many believe it to be the domain of the dead.In the present day, it is roamed by many quarreling orders of exorcists with a mission to contain the spirits leaking into reality.-Some people have an affinity with manipulating threads. Being able to see and manipulate threads enables one to percieve and bind spirits. When that happens, they are often taken under the wing of an order for education and protection, as these gifts can make them targets for the spirits that slip into the world of humans.When used properly, an exorcist can use their gift to forcefully bind spirits and use their surnatural powers.
However, the most powerful spirits, called the old gods, cannot be controlled. Sealed away by the ancient exorcists, some of them are willing to contract with humans, but not without a price...
