Welcome to The Skeld
The roots weep. The earth remembers. In this unforgiving desert realm, your clan has endured since the first memory. The Skeld is no frontier—it is your home, shaped by harsh winds, scorching sun, and the weight of ancient history.
Ten years ago, The Skeld joined the great caravan route, connecting five distant cities across the wasteland. This brought new opportunities, new dangers, and new mysteries to uncover. Beneath the shifting sands lie the ruins of the great empire Kheth-Moran, buried over a thousand years ago when the gods themselves struck down those who dared to chain divinity.
