WORLD OF THE WOUND
The main river of the Shoan Highlands.
The main river of the Shoan Highlands. It runs between terraces, shrines and settlements and gives Baisu its shape.
In the Shoan Highlands, river mist settles across terraces, monasteries and the Naeril. Warm lanterns are precious here; the landscape and its old customs speak softly of things remembered.
Spoiler-free background from the world and its recorded traditions.
The Naeril gathers cold water below steep forests and terraced slopes. Baisu clings to the river; farther uphill, paths narrow between woodland, stone and cloud. In the ARPG landscape studies, river shrines, the mist terraces and the upper monastery each have their own light, sound and vegetation.
