THE NEXUS THEORIES – A SCHOLAR HOLDING A RIFTSTONE FRAGMENT

DATA


INTRODUCTION

A Riftstone is not like any other stone.

It does not reflect light the way normal minerals do.It does not warm under the sun or cool in the dark.

But most disturbingly—It does not always show the same thing twice.


THE STONE THAT REMEMBERS THE UNSEEN

Occulan scholars first discovered Riftstones along the fractured edges of the Rift, embedded in the rock like shattered glass.

But unlike ordinary crystals, Riftstones seem to hold images within them—visions of cities that do not exist, landscapes that have never been mapped, people who are unrecorded in any history.

When rotated, the images shift—

  • One moment displaying a ruined temple

  • The next a thriving metropolis

  • Then an empty wasteland

Some claim that the visions align with historical records, matching ancient ruins that once stood before vanishing. Others believe that the Riftstones show not the past, but the future—or something else entirely.


THE SCHOLAR’S WARNING

Liraen Vos, the leading scholar on Riftstones, recorded an unsettling discovery before abruptly ending her research.

She wrote that the stone she had studied for months suddenly reflected her own image—but not as she was.

The figure staring back was older, different, wearing clothes she had never seen before.

The expression in the reflection was not her own.

Vos abandoned her work the next day.


FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS OR RECORDED LEGENDS

“The stone does not show the past. It shows something that should not be.”—Liraen Vos, Rift Researcher

“We do not study Riftstones anymore. We leave them where they are.”—Kaelon Rift, Celestial Cartographer

“I held one once. I will never do so again.”—Renna Vos, Depository Archivist


CONCLUSION

If Riftstones truly show glimpses of time itself,

What happens if they show something that never should be?

No further study is currently underway.
