Equllarin Wall
The Equllarin Wall is a monumental, divine barrier stretching across the continent of archioua , forming an impassable divide between the northern wildlands and the southern Lunarian Empires. Created by celestial power in a forgotten age, it is widely believed to have been conjured during a time of great upheaval—either by divine decree or as a desperate measure during a continental war.
This glowing wall of pale blue energy rises from the depths of the earth, extends through jungle and mountain, and stretches skyward into the clouds above. It continues beneath the oceans, preventing any passage by sea or sky. The only known passage through the wall is at the sacred city of Equarlsius , under the guidance of the goddess Equwala , the youngest of the divine siblings.
Origins & Lore
Though no mortal truly knows the origin of the wall, legends tie its creation to the conflict between the gods Solarius and Lunara , and their offspring. Some say it was raised by Equwala herself to separate the warring faithful of her divine family, creating a zone of peace where none could cross without her blessing.
Others whisper that the wall was forged by Solarius in his fury, sealing away the southern empires after their betrayal, or by Lunara to contain her enemies and preserve her vision of order. Regardless of its creator, the wall is regarded as sacred and eternal, and its presence has reshaped the political and religious structures of Archioua for nearly a millennium.
Appearance
The Equllarin Wall appears as a towering sheet of translucent blue light, faintly humming with divine resonance.
Height: Unknown, believed to reach into the upper sky.
Width: Several meters thick, dense and unpassable by any known spell or magic.
Light: It glows with a gentle shimmer, brightest during celestial events like solstices or eclipses.
When touched, the surface of the wall pulses with warm energy but repels all force—physical or magical. Attempts to cross it elsewhere have resulted in total disintegration or complete teleportation failures.
Function and Restrictions
The wall serves multiple functions:
Divine Protection: It prevents the armies of the northern tribes and southern empires from waging holy war on one another.
Religious Division: It maintains a balance between the Solarian-aligned north and Lunarian-dominated south.
Magical Limitation: Most teleportation spells, divine interventions, and planar travel are blocked or diverted when targeting the wall or attempting to bypass it.
The Passage of Equarlsius
The only known safe crossing lies within the city of Equarlsius, built directly into the wall. Equarlsius is governed by the faithful of Equwala, and functions as a neutral ground between the parts of The alganothy pantheon . Only those deemed worthy or balanced by the goddess herself are allowed to pass.
Pilgrims, diplomats, and adventurers must pass rigorous tests of faith, morality, and intent before being allowed to walk through the Hall of Balance where the wall opens briefly in her name.
Religious and Cultural Impact
The Equllarin Wall has become a powerful symbol:
For Equwala’s faithful, it is a sign of peace and hope.
For Solarians, it is a reminder of separation and unfinished judgment.
For Lunarians, it represents divine justice and containment of chaos.
For scholars and mages, it is a mystery—a magical construct beyond mortal comprehension.
In Art and Prophecy
Depictions of the wall are common in religious artwork, often showing it with Equwala standing between the sun and moon, holding back the forces of her parents. Some prophecies speak of a day when the wall will fall—ushering in either divine reconciliation or the final divine war
