Nihluma’s Cosmic Landscape
Lucidara: The material cosmos where mortal civilizations rise and fall, each grappling with ethical dilemmas, high-tech warfare, and fleeting stability.
Abythos: An extra-dimensional domain teeming with Abythic Energy, abominations, and Abyssal entities intent on influencing Lucidara’s inhabitants.
In this universe, time cannot be reversed, technology coexists with unfathomable powers, and desperate alliances form to hold back reality-bending horrors.
