The Tear
Overview
The Tear is a vast, divided land split by a colossal cliff into the Upper Tear and the Lower Tear—each shaped by its own terrain, faiths, and struggle. The Upper Tear is a realm of lush grasslands and rocky outcroppings, a land full of life and movement, where the wind hums through the plains and the skies stretch wide with promise. Here, the Khanarians live in harmony with nature, guided by the elemental god Torgi.
Below the cliff lies the Lower Tear, a harsh desert wasteland where the sun beats down on dry bones and dust. The Goliaths endure here—hardened and proud, shaped by struggle and bound in ancient memory. They follow Kord, a god of strength, storms, and resilience. Where the Upper Tear embodies freedom and vitality, the Lower Tear is hardship incarnate—scarred, silent, and powerful. Together, they form the broken heart of Karagatan.
