Nulda
Nulda, often referred to as The Pit, is a dark and foreboding realm in the cosmos of Elissar. It is a place that is deeply rooted
in the past, holding onto the echoes of what once was.
The Essence of Nulda: Nulda is the antithesis of Silyona, The Shining Lands. While Silyona represents the future and the
potential for change, Nulda is moored in the past, a realm that refuses to let go of history. It is a place where the shadows of
former glories and ancient regrets linger, a realm that is both a prison and a sanctuary for those who cannot move on.
The Inhabitants of Nulda: Nulda is inhabited by the valya who are trapped by their own past actions or allegiances. These
beings, once divine, are now bound to The Pit, their light dimmed by their inability to embrace change. They are known as the
Shades of the Past, and they wander Nulda, forever reliving their former lives and deeds.
The Landscape of Nulda: The landscape of Nulda is a reflection of Elissar’s history. Ruined castles, fallen monuments, and
desolate battlefields mark its terrain. The skies are perpetually overcast, and a faint mist covers the ground, obscuring the
paths that crisscross the realm. Time seems to stand still in Nulda, with every moment stretched into eternity.
The River of Remembrance: A river known as the Lethean Stream flows through Nulda. Its waters are said to hold the
memories of all that has transpired in Elissar. Drinking from the river can grant visions of the past, but at the cost of becoming
lost in one’s own memories, a fate that many of the Shades of the Past have suffered.
The Fortress of Regrets: At the center of Nulda stands the Fortress of Regrets, a massive structure built from the remnants
of fallen empires. It is here that the ruler of Nulda, Moros, the Valya of Despair, resides. Moros is a tragic figure, once a valya
of great renown, now reduced to overseeing the realm of lost hopes.
The Echoing Halls: Within the Fortress of Regrets are the Echoing Halls, where the whispers of the past can be heard.
These halls are lined with mirrors that show not reflections, but scenes from history. It is said that the Echoing Halls hold the
truth of every tale ever told in Elissar, but the truth comes with the risk of being consumed by the past.
Nulda is a realm that serves as a cautionary tale within the lore of Elissar. It is a reminder that while the past can offer
valuable lessons, being trapped by it can lead to a stagnant existence. Nulda, with its somber beauty and haunting
landscapes, adds a layer of depth to the world of Elissar, inviting those who are curious to explore its mysteries and learn from
its stories.
