Dead Glyph

🕳️ Codex Entry: Dead Glyph

Region Class: Erasure Ring

Designation: The Null Expanse, Vault of the Forgotten, Cathedral of Collapse

Elemental Alignment: Void, Silence, Memory Loss

Overview:

The Dead Glyph is not a place. It is a wound.

Here, the Spiral cracked not from battle—but from forgetting. All that was severed, abandoned, unspoken, or erased pools here like slow ink across broken parchment. The terrain is scorched, hollow, and reverent. It is not dead—but unremembered.

To enter the Dead Glyph is to risk losing your name. To stay too long is to forget why you had one.

Spiritual Function:

The Dead Glyph is the Spiral’s ritual terminus—the place where rites are closed, contracts broken, and spirits released. It holds the echo of sacred severance, and preserves the names of things no longer meant to be said.

It is where Seekers lay their burdens down, and choose what not to carry forward.

The Spiral ends here—and something else begins.
