Castillon Rift

The Castillon Rift is a massive volcanic fissure on the Vulcan Islands, torn open in 1365 where Elias Castillon fell from the Seaborrow Cliffs above it. It is the resting place of the fifth share of the Curse of Ravana and, ultimately, of Elias Castillon himself.

History

1365: Elias Castillon, hiding on the Vulcan Islands after his father’s murder, was tracked there by Severin Falkenrath. Rather than allow the transfer of his share, Elias went over the Seaborrow Cliffs into the fissure below. The land caused the death, so the land took the share, and the body of a former host broke the ground it landed on: the fissure tore open into the Castillon Rift, a permanently active rift of fire and lava. Severin arrived too late. The same cataclysm raised Chunk Err, the steep cliffside to the west of the islands.

1365 onward: The fifth share became increasingly integrated into the volcanic land over centuries. Each Neutron NRG extraction attempt caused progressive environmental damage, pulling at energy threaded through the foundations of the islands and the broader world.

~21st century: Severin Falkenrath’s final extraction attempt pulled him into the earth rather than drawing the energy out. He fused with the land. All five shares of the Curse of Ravana are now in the ground.

~2300: The land of Lichdenstein sits above all five shares of the Curse of Ravana and the remains of Severin Falkenrath.
