The Birth of the Wasteland

The origin of the wasteland is shrouded in myth and rumor, as it is rare for folks to have any desire to travel there, and even rarer for those who do to return with stories they are willing to share. What is known, is that in ancient times there was a cataclysmic war that took place there between the Gods and Goddesses and a being of such destruction and malice that the gods themselves feared for their lives.

Known as The Voidborne, it fought alone against all the forces brought to bear by both Mortals and Divines and the fight was even. Neither side relented, one adamant in its hatred for all existence and the other in its desire for a future.

From here, the tales diverge into wildly differing theories. Some say The Voidborne was imprisoned beneath the Wasteland while others say it was destroyed that day, and even more claim it fled Fynn as its energy waned. The only point of agreement among the tales is that the Wasteland's effect is a consequence of the divine war that took place, as since that day none who have died there have remained at rest.
