Obscuria of Katharsis
Welcome, adventurer, to a world of items yet to be explored - lore and legends waiting to be discovered! The Obscuria of Katharsis is far too vast for any one person to catalog, and this is where YOU come in…
This compilation of books, events, institutions and people has been gleaned from brief mentions and hints scattered throughout the mythos. Should you be so inclined, help us by expounding upon these entries, thereby aiding other adventurers, like yourself, to better navigate the Four Corners. And who knows? If the Dungeon Masters like what you submit, you may find yourself added to our eclectic band of scribes.
