The Wallows is a dreaded realm bound to the Endrill legend of the Bearer of Kings’ Sword — a cursed weapon said to grant vengeance to the departed. When the blade kills an attacker, the spirit of the victim is exchanged with the soul of their murderer, condemning the killer to The Wallows for a thousand years of brutal, merciless punishment at the hands of those they wronged. Many believe the realm is not a nightmare or afterlife, but a hidden layer of reality itself — a fate feared across the kingdoms as one of the cruelest curses ever spoken into existence.
