Its broken columns, gutted crypts, and disfigured statues bear witness to its decline. Despite this, a certain majesty remains, and those who dare to venture there can feel the ancient voices still echoing between its walls. The inhabitants of the terrace sometimes seek refuge there, praying to the fierce gods who still reside … text/html 2024-10-28T08:00:54+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://wiki.laelith.martinou.net/en/laelith/the-punishment/the-bad-weathertime?rev=1730102454&do=diff The Bad Weathertime It's not just people who get lost in the Punishment. Time also loses its way here. A day, a century, everything converges and if you believe the locals, there are even certain corners that death forgets, all busy as it is circling around in the Bad Weathertime neighborhood like a disoriented bear in a cage of dimensions that elude it. text/html 2024-10-28T08:00:54+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://wiki.laelith.martinou.net/en/laelith/the-punishment/the-deadlands?rev=1730102454&do=diff The Dead Lands / The Fevers Tree At the foot of the ruins of the Temple of the Elders, lies a vast, dreary, grayish, and deserted field. Sacrificing most of this sordid space to the Punishment and its spells, a camp of waxed canvas and shaky planks rustles, trembles, and sobs around the Fevers Tree. Here gather the most lost of the outcasts from the terrace, those who no longer know which direction to steer their life, those who still need a religious beacon to avoid getting lost and letting th… text/html 2024-10-28T08:00:54+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://wiki.laelith.martinou.net/en/laelith/the-punishment/the-empty-cup?rev=1730102454&do=diff The Empty Cup Misery is the mortar of the Punishment, but in the district of the Empty Cup, it is also the horizon, the sky, and the air that one breathes. Counterweight to its neighbor the Full Cup, this ruined district would make the Destitution Gardens look like a paradise of abundance. Even the crows die of hunger here. Note that if famine is one of the devils that torture the inhabitants of the Punishment, it is rare that it kills them.

But in the Jumble district, the attacks are more direct: Gravity plays tricks on you, as in the Askewed ladder; the Bustling Street tries to digest you in broad daylight with a great deal of tentacles; and the wind seeks to throw you into the void if you have the misfortune of getting lost in Dead Street.
