Deep within the perpetually shadowed and geologically unstable northern mountain ranges of Furyan lies the Elder Scar. From a distance, it appears as a series of immense, perfectly circular depressions and surgical fissures carved into rust red crust formations, as though the very planet had been incised by an unseen force. The dark, almost obsidian rock absorbs every stray ray of light, enhancing the eerie ambiance, while the air around the scar vibrates with a subtle, nearly inaudible thrum that hints at deep-seated energies. As travelers approach, instruments falter, communications crackle, and basic navigational systems grow erratic, underscoring the site’s unnerving defiance of natural law.

Legend holds that the scar conceals the remnants of an ancient, pre-Scream psionic manipulation research facility and containment site. Towering, oddly symmetrical rock formations, fused with gleaming metals embedded seamlessly into the bedrock, betray the facility’s advanced and enigmatic origins. This site was once fortified by active anti-psionic defenses—psychic traps and hidden mental wards designed to repel intruders—whose residual energy creates a cacophony of fragmented thought and disorienting mental static, especially unbearable for those gifted with psionic abilities. Non-psionics, too, feel an uncanny sensation of being watched; a creeping disquiet that manifests as confusion, static prickles along the nerves, or a fleeting sense of vertigo.

The Silent Path refers to the Elder Scar as the place where the planet’s heart beats wildly—a wound that never truly healed. Here lies a forbidden vault of unprecedented mental power, a nexus where the laws of consciousness were once explored and bent by its ancient builders. It is to this vault that the Governor now directs his insatiable ambitions, seeking a power so dangerous that its disruption could shatter the delicate balance of Furyan itself. In the shadow of dormant yet unstable energies, the stage is set for a reckoning that may soon unleash forces beyond mortal control.
