Multiple rifts open to the distant world of Oerth.
One in the province of Lucidia west of Kathros leads to a point in the Baklunish Empire near the Dramidj coast. Ancient accounts record a rift existing at the site millennia ago, suggesting connections to the world may wax and wane on a slow rhythm. Another rift forms in the plains near the Black Mountains on what is now the border between Larboria and Perrenor, connecting to a location on Oerth in the foothills of the Barrier Peaks east of present-day Ulakand.
Explorers from both sides establish contact and are soon followed by traders and diplomatic emissaries.
