10 Nexuses of Tanaria

The Nexuses of Tanaria are ten powerful focal points where the magical ley lines of the world converge, creating areas of immense energy and influence. Each nexus is tied to specific elemental or divine forces, shaping the land and cultures around them. Some serve as sacred sites, such as the Heart Tree Nexus in Drakoria or Kustal Dag in Eouma, while others, like the Infernal Nexus in Mournhold and the Ruined Nexus of Valoria, are steeped in danger and mystery. These nexuses not only amplify magic but also play vital roles in the spiritual, political, and mythological fabric of Tanaria, acting as both blessings and potential sources of conflict.
