The Splinter
Section titled The SplinterThe Sword Coast is actually a fragment of an entirely different universe; called The Splinter by those aware of its true nature, sent flying through the Multiverse by The Fracture well before the Bronze Era.
The collision points where The Splinter meets the rest of Edon has weakened The Weave, letting in an extra-universal presence called the Violet Horde to prevent any further events like The Fracture.
Only a handful of mortals are aware about The Splinter’s true nature, and even less can comprehend the implications for the whole of Mor’Thal.
Shin is one mortal who has made contact with the Violet Horde through the cracks and became an emissary for them. His father, Mura, was another mortal who could fathom the reality facing Edon, he practiced with the Monks of Shiver Peak Monastery on Feldon to add a layer of defendes against the Violet Horde. Aiwin Xyrbanise learned to visualise the cracks in The Weave but has not been able to comprehend the presence of the Violet Horde.
