  • (from a book in the Xantusia library) Monsters are not living creatures as such, but more like apparitions made of an invisible but omnipresent substance known as 'the Dark', 'Miasma', or 'Dark Matter', which exists between this plane of existence and another. They take on forms derived from thinking minds, and exist only to bring despair and conflict, it seems. They have no minds or feelings.

abstract
  • (from a book in the Xantusia library) Monsters are not living creatures as such, but more like apparitions made of an invisible but omnipresent substance known as 'the Dark', 'Miasma', or 'Dark Matter', which exists between this plane of existence and another. They take on forms derived from thinking minds, and exist only to bring despair and conflict, it seems. They have no minds or feelings. An ancient civilisation built these magical 'chalices' to collect the Dark or Miasma in order to utilise its power. For what purpose is not known. It is known, however, that they fill when monsters near them are slain; they attract the raw Dark Energy that the monster dissolves into before it has a chance to rejoin the rest of the Miasma in the space between planes.
