The Realms of Ryndaria

At their core, the realms of Ryndari are alive and aware, if not awake. Everything has a soul, which means that abusing nature can lead to serious backlash.    Every mortal in the three realms has a possibility of gaining power to fundamentally alter some aspect of reality, within the laws of nature as defined by the gods. This means that anyone with a Talent who understands how to use it can do things like creating mountain ranges where prairie once was, or grow a tower of stone by singing to the stone - their abilities are limited only by their understanding, their covenant-keeping, and their imagination.   The Heavenly Council is deeply invested in the fates of the mortal races, but generally they do not directly interfere with events; instead, their disciples, the followers of the Way, can intervene to change mortals' paths and create miracles.    Some followers of the Way have achieved, not theosis, but a state of immortality. They have the ability to be where they are needed most, to enact oaths and covenants to the gods.
