Balance
The wellspring of Covalent power, the equilibrium of Creation and Destruction, order and entropy, attraction and repulsion, love and hate.
The Turning
The energy field that surrounds and safeguards the Covalent Realm. Created by the Guardians to bond the expanding forces of Creation and Destruction when they threatened to wipe out the cosmos. The Turning holds these elemental forces in Balance.
The Guardians
Ancient Covalent warriors who fused their minds and energies to bond the elemental forces and form the Turning, an event known as The Rising.
Warriors of the Rising
Descendants of the Guardians.
The Stream
The torrent of energy that borders the Creative Realm. A thick band of sapphire blue, this energy cannot be tamed and will absorb any Covalent who touches it. The immortal Covalent sometimes return here when they are weary of life. They call this “meeting the Stream.”
Axial Rift
Ruptures in the fabric of existence that appear in the Earthly Realm at a solstice or an equinox, when the planet’s orbit causes its axis to shift relative to the sun. The shift stretches and twists the dimensional fabric to create a network of fissures that enclose the Earth like the branches of a tree.
Kinetic Rift
Slits in the fabric of existence that continually appear and disappear, the perpetual breathing of reality. Only Covalent travelers can perceive and use these rifts.
