The Prisons of the Fallen

Sealed Dimensions of Shadow Power

The Prisons of the Fallen are magical dimensions created to confine the Raphaarym and other demonic entities that threaten the existence of Erendorn.

Cosmology of the Prisons

The Prisons of the Fallen exist in a dimension parallel to Erendorn, separated by ancestral magical seals. Each prison was created by ancient mages and gods to confine a specific entity. The seven prisons are connected by a shadow void called 'The Abyss', where time does not flow normally and reality is unstable.

The Seven Prisons

First Prison

The Chamber of Silence

High - The Raphaarym constantly seeks to break the seals through shadow rituals.

Raphaarym of Perdition

An empty and infinite dimension where sound does not exist. The Raphaarym here is prevented from communicating with the outside.

Seals:

Three ancestral silence seals

Second Prison

The Frozen Abyss

Critical - If awakened, this Raphaarym could freeze all of Erendorn.

Prisoner:

Five primordial ice seals

Third Prison

The Infernal Furnace

High - The fire of the seals is weakening over time.

Prisoner:

Raphaarym of the Devoured Flame

A dimension of extreme heat where eternal fire burns without consuming. The Raphaarym is constantly burned, keeping it weak.

Seven sacred fire seals

Fourth Prison

The Whispering Void

Critical - Its madness can infect other dimensions if the seals fail.

Prisoner:

Raphaarym of Whispered Madness

A dimension where infinite echoes create a cacophony that drives any mind insane. The Raphaarym here lost its sanity centuries ago.

Four silence and isolation seals

Fifth Prison

The Eternal Labyrinth

Medium - Less dangerous than others, but its escape could open portals in Erendorn.

Prisoner:

Raphaarym of the Lost Path

Description:

A dimension of infinite corridors that constantly reorganize themselves. The Raphaarym is trapped in an eternal cycle of endless search.

Six confusion and disorientation seals

Sixth Prison

The Chamber of Corrosion

High - Its corrosion can affect the seals themselves.

Prisoner:

Raphaarym of Eternal Decay

Description:

A dimension where everything decays infinitely without ever disappearing. The Raphaarym is constantly destroyed and regenerated.

Eight preservation and containment seals

Seventh Prison

The Throne of Perdition

Catastrophic - The liberation of the Devourer would be the apocalypse.

Prisoner:

Supreme Raphaarym - The Devourer

Description:

The most powerful prison, where the oldest and most powerful Raphaarym is sealed. It is the king of all the Fallen and its liberation would mean the end of Erendorn.

Seals:

Twelve divine power seals

Maintenance of the Seals

The seals of the Prisons of the Fallen require constant maintenance. Ancient guardians and the Adventurers' Guild work to ensure that the seals remain intact. There are secret rituals that must be performed periodically to renew the power of the seals and prevent the Raphaarym from escaping.

Warnings

  • Never attempt to open the Prisons of the Fallen - the consequences would be catastrophic
  • The Raphaarym are immortal and extremely intelligent - they cannot be defeated, only contained
  • Any weakening of the seals must be immediately reported to the Guild
  • Shadow rituals that seek to liberate the Fallen are forbidden in all lands of Erendorn
  • Shadow corruption may be a sign that the seals are failing
