Warland

Warland is a concept within the world of Riddlemoore and also present in War of The Animals. The warland is a realm that breaks into our own reality after a place has been embroiled in war and conflict for a very long time thus the name warland or "land of war".

The warland subtly infiltrates into our own world and perception. It's a realm of violence and death it's inhabitants are rats, vermin, scavenger insects and necrophage creatures. They become the heralds of the dark voices of war and of fallen hunters which offer men skills in battle in exchange of their own existance.

Weapons fallen in the warland will gain life and become blood thirsty monsters that try to convince people to use them, only after killing they'll finally rest in peace.

If given enough time the warland will distort the reality surrounding it, walking into it from our familiar grounds will feel like slowly being pulled into another world.
