According to the account by the Hibou Argent, the Watchers came from beyond the world and could only enter Mundus through designated doors, or 9 monoliths centred on points of telluric energy. I have not been able to confirm that the Watchers and the entities referenced as the Unnamable (sometimes called the void) are the same or how they might relate to the Guardians or “The Old Ones” referenced in lore of the religion of Fel'Lökla.

Telluric Forces

Something that features heavily in sources is Telluric Energy that collects around Telluric faults. This energy relates to the way that magical power converges at certain points on Mundus. This power can often be harnessed through things like ziggerats or obelisks built over rifts or convergences that can allow creatures from other dimensions through into Mundus. Throughout history, several figures have used these to do things like open portals to other planes. Using this magic often requires massive sacrifice of human life. There are also references to the need to use Veldrin crystals to open these portals. A list of known Telluric points of power is not readily available, but there are references to these areas as they have been the centre of conflict over time.

While most of Mundus can be freely seen on the map, there are several places that either do not appear to everyone or have special magical properties like being known to have telluric faults. Given their importance, I have provided a short list of ones I have consistently come across. Perhaps one day I will expand on this section.

Syrn When the First Ones wanted to create peace, they needed a place for it to grow. They created the First City for the first race to be born. The race of dark elves lived in Syrn. The development was great, it covered our world. Then the war for magic began. The dark elves fought to the death. For several generations, Syrn remained deserted. The Portals The dark elves were at war for dominance of magic. The First Ones were worried that their children would die. They created a portal in the First City. The dark elves could use it to go to the surface of the world. The portal of the First City opens with the Book of Uskhena Gadah Gos. The elves could now move between the First City and the surface. They could survive the war. Other ways to create these portals were developed. The waudit can be summoned with certain centers. The portal of the First City allows one to move between worlds Asthena Gadah Sos the First Ones created the portals of our world. With them, the dark elves could move between the First City and the surface of the world. The grand portal could also be used to travel among the stars. When the dark elves went to live on the surface, the First Ones closed the portals. The war among the dark elves ceased. The First Ones gave a Book to the dark elves. It can be used to open the portals again. Orapal Camas When the dark elves were at peace, the Book was there. When the dark elves discovered the magic of Orapal Camas, the book was there. When the dark elves fought for the magic, the book was there. When the elves dark left Syrn, the Book was there. The history of this race is in this book. The Book was closed when the elves dark came to the surface. The Telluric Zones of the dark elves were fighting for magic, the First Ones created portals to send the dark elves to the surface. The dark elves could not live on the surface. The First Ones created large magic zones. In these zones, the dark elves changed to become something different. The mortal races were born. In these zones, the races mortals created Gods. The First Ones took back the magic of these zones after the creation of the Gods. The Guardians were First Ones. They lived in another world in the stars. They created several worlds because they wanted to learn from others entities. They created a first race and waited until it became mortal. They learned from our actions. When one of them left his original world because he wanted to dominate, they followed him. They wanted to stop him. The Prophets When the First Ones left the world to to pursue their brother, they left us a way to lead our world while they were gone. Darkness spoke to his brothers in the pleasure of war. The five first ones could not prevent it in time, and the Council ordered that the world would be tested. Great calamities fell on our world and we must survive or the Darkness will exercise its right to rule the world. May the Prophets help us.

In the later part of King Solar’s reign, skirmishes with the Empire and the forces of chaos became more and more frequent. Drawn by the strong telluric energy, hordes of dark creatures and demon worshipers from the province of Garganesh in the Terres d’Auquesse began to venture into the lands of Andore. Most notably, the swamp orc invasion of 997 CE and the campaigns of the brutal and merciless mercenary, Caïus Brutus Bubonius, under command of the necromancer Uskuada (La Bataille des Deux Ponts, La Légion Infernale.)

The violence was focused in the province of Loren, once a peaceful province on the border of the kingdom of Irendille. The troops of Garganesh took several domains and were able to harness the telluric energy to build a cursed monolith. Brutus Bubonius used this monolith to sacrifice the entire population of two domaines to feed the pact he made with the demon Le Tenamuahc (Campagne de Somière, La Légion Infernale.)

50 years after the coronation of King Solar, and the time had finally come for the Great Khan of Garganesh to launch a full invasion of Andore. In spring 1004, the inhabitants of the village in the province Boisefort were taken by surprise by invaders from Auquesse. The horde made quick work of the villagers, killing all in their path. The province of Boistfort fell to the forces of the Great Khan and the surviving population was reduced to slavery in the City of Garganesh (Invasions du Chaos.) Additionally, the horde took possession of the telluric point of Boisfort - allowing the necromancer Uskuada to open a portal to the realm of demons (Province de Boisfort.)
