Xerex
Do the Impossible
Xerex is a world of twisted geometries and physics, where endless archives climb forever towards the summit of the plane’s knowledge, and secret vaults lay buried within the pit of its fears. Thieves, cults, and more all seek the forbidden powers in the outer limits of Xerex, fighting past ancient servitors and guards of hoards to attain them. Will you keep locked away what has been forbidden, or wield it for yourself?
