PLL - Darkbrood and Erghit

Erghit

As Hizuran is Light, Erghit is Darkness. Erghit, the Trench of Shadows, the Blinding Void, Home of the Darkbrood, lies at the north of Hizuran. If one would look down into Erghit from one of the peaks, he cannot see anything but a dull black. The blackness is not natural, but due to a high concentration of black mana that floods the entire trench, so thick that walking in it is almost like walking in water. The black mana is usually inert, though one in it can feel it running through his body, chargin g it with power. If someone attempts to cast a magic spell, then the surrounding area combusts in a black flame.

Erghit is a long and winding valley, though the valley walls under the sea of mana are smooth and featureless. The temperature is a freezing cold because no warmth could be obtained from the black mana.

As dangerous as Erghit gets, Many adventurers enter Erghit in search of power but never return, forever indulging in black mana. Mages - usually mystiks try to channel the black mana for personal use but most fail terribly, often killing themselves in the process. The successful ones survive to be great mages with a corrupted heart.


Darkbrood

A 'darkbrodd' is a general term given to someone from Erghit, native or not. 'Native' darkbroods aresaid to be descended from fallen gliders, gliders who forsake their honor in quest of power. Native darkbroods and gliders do have a certain resemblance in their short stature and hollow bone structure, though their hair, skin and eye color are completely different.

All darkbrood have dark skin (not tanned, but greyish) and dark red eyes and hair. THey seem to be able to communicate telepathically, but only with fellow darkbroods in a very short distance.
