Pelithine Fury

The Titans' Dream
- Within the timestorm, there is a moment / alternate timeline where the titans have broken free and are engulfing the shard of Pelithos
- the Theoi died preventing this being existing, ending the timestorm as they ended
- The Weaver led the effort, using broken Destiny to choose another future
Freeing the Titans
- opening the way from the Titans' Dream
- perhaps accessing it through the Dreamer, the Strange, particularly the Obyrith
- perhaps through broken Destiny power (the Loom, the Pyxis (the Final Doom!), the Owl, or again, the Obyrith)
- The Final Doom of the Pyxis might be the release of the titans
- esoterically minded cultists were very interested to learn of the gods of Vashad being pulled forward to the present
- some may have had limited success, accessing the Dream through their own dreams / strange rituals, gaining knowledge, insights, or prophecies, pulling emissaries or objects of power from the dream into the world
- using the Key to draw through enough power to break them out
- pulling down more stars, breaking the divine machinery to increase leakage
The Vaultlands
Helios (The Sun)
- radiant heaven leaks from the sun. Originates during the Timestorm.
- she goes free during the Fall, and the Sun stops emitting fury
- sometimes visible around the sun is a prismatic corona
- this can lead to weird weather: lingering auroras that illuminate even into the night sky, showers of sun-hail stones, unusual behavior among birds, unusual flares of insight and through above people, windy weather and even gales.
Selene (The Moon)
- lonely hollow leaks from the moon. Originates during the Timestorm.
- a shallow ocean of the titan's black tar has spread across the surface of the Moon, creating ragged-edged phases.
- when the moon is full, Integral Night dominates (social fear, fear of what humans may do, etc). Under the new moon, primal fear dominates (fear of things: spiders, drowning, the dark, sickness, etc).
- sometimes, under the new moon, slicks of moon-tar can manifest on the earth.
Opagos
- pale maw leaks from the iceheart. Originates during the Timestorm.
- glacier (cold/water/stone)
Kyterios
- Everburning Obsidian leaks from the fireheart. Originates during the Timestorm.
- volcano/desert/badland (stone/heat/reason)
The Aphxanamos
- Starling Grove & Creeping Willow, mixed fractiously together, leak from the Rainheart. Originates during the Timestorm.
- jungle (flesh/wood/life/instinct)
Erebus
- Braided Thought seeps into the rivers of the underworld. Originates during the Timestorm.
- the river-titan's waters of memory mingle in the underworld rivers: lethe, mnemosyne, etc. Some wake spirits that should drift away to their old memories, rousing them to fury-corrupted existence. Some wake to memories from the titan rather than their own, long lost heroes or realm-lords.
???The Erbian Cenotes???
- During the starfall, a few stars of Iron Ascension punched holes down into Erebus, creating great cenotes.
- the Great Crypt of Taphos is actually built in one of these to contain it.
- these shafts are used by the cult, but also various heroes, to reach the underworld. the Iron Ascension-touched dead are wise in the ways of Truth and Judgement; they can be called upon as oracles or avenging fury Furies to punish deeds.
Avigia
- A single starfall created it during the first titanomachia.
- Nightsinger / Dreaming Meadow (amber and mist, dreams, sleep)
- weird moor, with strange dreaming mists, sound of bells, dew-dappled, stags in the mist
The Maelstrom
- A single starfall created it during the first titanomachia.
- whirlpool (dark/water)
- Maelstrom Deep
- insatiable greed, Davy Jones' Locker vibe
Labyrinth (Phidion Ori)
- Created by corrupting forgehearts during the first titanomachia.
- Lonely Hollow
- the titan's cult (the sisters of stone) secretly gathered its moon-tar for ages, storing it in the caverns below the Phidion Ori. During the Titanomachia, they unleashed it, corrupting many forgehearts beneath the earth, creating the vaultland known as the Labyrinth.
- as the caverns swelled below the earth, they forced the mountain dramatically higher
???Synnephion Ori
- storm (wind/sleep) - known as a source of mutation, it can still sweep up and transform people/things
- radiant heaven above (stars pulled up earthmote isles), gilded vale / stranger below (the elongated, pulled up mountains)
- clashing mix above and below
???Mavros
- death?
- single starfall created it during the first titanomachia, accidental?
- being lost? hidden dangers, reefs? being insensate? sap = lotus eaters - Severed Horizon, the Map Maker
Golden Waste
- Originally an expanse of woodland and grasslands, it was the site of an incursion by the obyrith maters Soma, the Hand Dripping Blood. She was banished in an epic battle with Pallas, the Aegis. The region was left corrupted by Strange, with a handful of neogi princes making lairs in the dream-haunted woods.
- During the First Titanomachia, the cult of Scorching Abandon used the permeability between Oneiros and the material world to tap into fury-corrupted Sleep-Roads and draw their power into the world. They spread this corruption to local forgehearts, and the land was transformed into the Golden Wastes.
- In the Second Titanomachia, it spread to the lower slopes of the Kyterion Ori, where desert and volcano Vaultlands mingle.
???
- one or two stars fell in the titanomachia; maybe accidentally, not caused by a titancult's activities? led to some mini-vaultlands
- In the Vasiliea? Erimia?
- could be some one-off stars from other titans mixed in? small pockets of extra weirdness
- ???empties into the Bay of Pearls, pearls holds strange ancient memories?
- ???Scorching Abandon is leaking through the dreamlands and into the golden waste via Strange corruption???
points of clashing between Vaultlands
- maelstrom and golden wastes
- golden wastes and kyterian ori
- synnephion ori (radiant heaven and what's below?)
- starling grove and creeping willow in the aphxanamos
Titancults
- roped in lots of lycans / ferals
- many early lycans were driven out of civilized lands, sometimes taking refugee in vaultlands, becoming corrupted. some 2nd gen ferals turned to fury as a source of power and became ensnared with it, forming titancults.
Sisters of Stone
- gorgons (fury-corrupted pythians) that turn victims to crystal
Straywater Adepts
Dogs of Winter
- kynes who feed upon the gore and flesh of Pale Maw
- vulture familiars who also devour the flesh
Dactyloi
???scorching abandon???
- windfuries
- saltbound
- leukrotta
- cyclops
