Ramide

Geography

Ramide lies near Rahmori’s northern pole, bordered by sheer crystal cliffs and ancient ice-fall valleys. Vast plateaus of translucent frost stretch toward the sky like still oceans. Below the surface, a labyrinth of echo caverns and soul tunnels pulse with deep resonance.

This region was once known only for its Frozen Water (Rumine), but its stillness awakened the first lucid dreams, calling forth the element of Zhuma from within.

Ecosystem

Ramide’s surface seems barren at a glance—but it hums with hidden life. Beneath the layer of ancestral frost, lie spirit-kissed organisms, luminous cave flora, and frozen memory spores that release images when thawed.

The people of Ramide do not till or build—they listen, interpret, and echo. This passive harmony makes their presence nearly invisible to those not attuned.

Ecosystem Cycles

Unlike other lands, Ramide has no seasons. Instead, it follows the Dreamturn—a cycle marked by planetary alignment and soul resonance, which dictates when spirits awaken, memories unlock, and transformation begins.

Every 30 years, a complete Dreamturn results in mass awakening, triggering ancestral downloads and spiritual rebirths for those attuned.

Localized Phenomena

• Soul Frosting – Spirit manifests as a visible frost over sleeping ide, recording their dreams in crystals
• Whisper Geysers – Steam columns that sing ancestral songs into the sky
• Echo Caverns – Underground chambers that echo only memories, not sound

Climate

Perpetual twilight. Icy and dry with no direct sunlight, only auroral resonance from the planet’s moons. Temperature rarely rises above freezing but is energetically warm—many claim the soul heats the body more than the air here.

Flora & Fauna

• Zhuleaf – Transparent vine that resonates when touched
• Spirit Moths – Inhabit dreams and rest on living ide during meditation
• Coldshroud Trees – Frozen bark but warm sap; used in healing trance-brews
• Memory Fungi – Grow in silence, bloom when spoken to

Natural Resources

• Spirit Crystal
• Memory Silk (woven dream threads)
• Echo Ice
• Stillwater essence

History

Ramide is believed to be the cradle of Spirit. Long before Zhuma was a word, the ide of Ramide learned to speak to the stillness. They harvested not crops, but knowing.

They first shared their frost-and-soul teachings with Mmirabe, helping to unlock the true spiritual nature of water. The Rumine-Zhuma synthesis birthed the first Dreamweavers and sparked the creation of Rajas as a haven for displaced ide.

When the Council rose to power, Ramide resisted, refusing to surrender its dream rites. In retaliation, they were labeled heretics, and many of their memory sanctuaries were desecrated.

Survivors whispered their way south, carrying what remained of the Zhuma lineage.

Tourism

Ramide receives only the most devoted pilgrims—those seeking truth beyond sight. Most do not survive the journey unless spiritually prepared.

Tourists are guided blindfolded, allowed to see only what the soul can see. They often leave having forgotten their names but knowing their purpose.
