Wall of the Faithless
Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
Encircling the mournful streets of the City of Judgement stands a grotesque monument to spiritual abandonment, the Wall of the Faithless. This immense barrier of soul-fused stone marks the boundary between the domain of judgment and the wider wastelands of Oinos, and is a place of silence, dread, and eternal suffering.
From afar, the wall appears cracked and green-veined with an unnatural, bioluminescent mold. But up close, the ghastly truth reveals itself: the faces, skulls, and outstretched hands of the faithless dead are pressed into the very mortar. They are not carvings or decoration—they are the damned themselves, their forms melded into the wall’s structure, frozen in agony. Their eyes remain open, their mouths mid-scream, their thoughts still flickering in eternal stasis.
These are souls who, in life, denied all divine patrons and rejected cosmic order. They neither gave fealty to gods nor upheld pacts of belief. As punishment for their refusal to acknowledge the divine, they are entombed in the Wall, fused into its fabric by a supernatural emerald mold that holds their spirits fast in eternal decay.
History
The wall was raised in the earliest days of the Ervenian Era, under the divine edict of Oaris, arbiter of cosmic law and co-sovereign of the Crystal Spire. It was he who first decreed that the unaligned, unfaithful dead would find no peace nor rebirth. His ruling was final: those who shun all gods shall find no passage, only silence.
The Raven Queen, silent ruler of this city, has never publicly challenged the wall’s purpose, though some say her ravens never fly near it.
