The Lathering of Pastelith
Once a realm of soft light and delicate lands, the kingdoms of Pebblereach, Rosenthale, Lumivale, and Frostwick stood as quiet bastions of color and calm. But peace was never permanent.
From the heart of Pastelith, an unnatural shimmer began to spread—bubbles rising without wind, clustering in silence, creeping across borders. They were beautiful at first—harmless, even enchanting—but they did not burst. They grew.
This strange, shimmering tide became known as The Lathering.
Where the bubbles roll, ink fades, borders melt, and memory is lost. Villages dissolve without a cry. Maps redraw themselves in real time as cartographers watch their work become unreadable. The land beneath the lather still exists—but it is no longer ours.
Now, only the outer kingdoms remain untouched. Their time is short. Their defenses? Folklore, mapcraft, and desperate ink-born magic.
The Lathering of Pastelith has begun. And there is no scrubbing it away.
