Light Novel 07

This is the seventh book in the "The Great Cleric" series and contains: "Chapter 8: A Captain's Pain and the Spirit of Dusk"

## Synopsis

Saint Weirdo returns to the Holy City, and surely a few months of peace and calm await the masochist healer back on his own turf. This time, for sure! Yeah, right. Luciel’s homecoming is less a vacation and more a pitstop on his never-ending list of responsibilities as an S-rank healer. The enigma that is Estia and her connection to the mysterious Lihzalea loom in the background, as all the while the Church continues to reel under the changes its newest S-rank brought so suddenly. The captain of the guard can scarcely get a grip in the wake of such greatness, and in her desperation to match the Saint’s accomplishments, she just might do something drastic. Meanwhile, the shadows in the dark are always lurking, but closer than ever before...perhaps beneath their very feet.

Beamer Tech

## Summary

At the dawn of the 23rd century, Keo unleashed a new type of technology to the world: *beamer tech*. This technology enabled offensive channelers to store destructive astral energy in batteries, which could later be projected from specially-designed weapons as beams that dissolved virtually anything in their path. This was a game-changing development for the Unum Vires; traditional firearms were ineffective against larger slag with thick body mass, but beamers were capable of tearing slag apart in seconds. The Keonic Research and Development Division (KRDD) used this technology to create a multitude of weapons and equipment, including handheld "beamers" of various sizes and strength and heavy beamer turrets. However, storing this astral energy in larger quantities (such as what would be required to power piercer blasts) proved to be risky and unstable, so piercers continued to be powered by offensive channelers.

   Beamer tech, while useful, did have its limitations. Considering its ability to pierce even heavily fortified barriers, beamer use within ships of any kind was banned. To mitigate the risk of a beamer compromising any ships' hull, bullet-projectile weapons continued to be standard issue for ship security personnel.
Heptin

## Summary

 Heptin has had it off rough from the start. A lush planet with much of it’s exotic surface unexplored, Heptin is a dense, green world composed of many continents of canopied jungles and rainforests. Thousands of tropical, volcanic island chains rise from it’s clear, shallow oceans. Sweltering temperatures, constant rainfall, raging monsoons and most of all, extremely diverse yet deadly wildlife and fauna made life on Heptin a tricky venture.

Nevertheless, Heptin quickly became a major economic, mercantile, and trading center for humanity, particularly in the food and pharmaceutical industry. It unfortunately also became a haven for drug production and illegal trade. Despite its share of criminal  activity, Heptin existed for decades as an exciting destination for the multiplex’s more daring scientists; bizarre plant and animal life captivated the scientific community, and a special interest was taken in a particularly intelligent marine species living in Heptin’s oceans.

Things took a turn for the worse on Heptin, however, after the fall of Kynon. The vast majority of survivors from the fallen planet were relocated to the largely unpopulated Heptin. Colonies were built and expanded in a rush, and the resulting infrastructure was not stable enough to support the population. Conflict over resources soon broke out, and criminal activity doubled in proportion. Though Heptin is still revered as a Garden of Eden to some, it is considered a jungle hell to many of its indignant and struggling inhabitants.

Many consider Heptin the most mysterious planet in the multiplex. An infinitesimally small number of its animal and plant inhabitants have been discovered and named. Rumors of intelligent life and disease-curing miracle plants run rampant among scientists and soldiers alike. As a result of its value and its vulnerability to a mass corruption event, the Apostles have placed a disproportionate amount of security on and around Heptin. It is nearly impossible to land on the planet undetected, and every ship requesting access to the planet is thoroughly searched. Nevertheless, there have been several major outbreaks that took years to contain. Many consider the planet a ticking time bomb due to it's high concentration of conscious life-forms, which make it a prime target for slag.

The world now has its first sage in over a century! Luciel returns at last from his extended stay in the City in the Sky with wondrous powers in hand, and this displeases a very particular faction within the Church of Saint Shurule.

The Astral Realm

## The Astral Realm - The Invisible Source

Much of Keonic philosophy involves two key concepts: The "astral" and the "stream". "Astral" refers to interactions with or origins from the *astral realm*, the energetically fluid and infinite source of all conscious experience. The astral realm is like a divine dream, continuously unfolding into new forms and yet home to ancient archetypes, symbols, spirits, deities, and all manner of ethereal beings. In a word, the spirit world.

Typically, a human or Apostle's psychic power is measured by their ability to harness astral power. All consciousness is rooted in the astral realm, and the ability to manipulate this astral flow is what defines a channeler. A mid-level channeler is able to shape and wield this flow in ways that influence the *stream*, or universal flow of consciousness that encompasses our entire reality.

While the Apostles are extremely adept manipulators of astral power, it is said that Keo's astral abilities are completely unparalleled. He allegedly exists between both realms simultaneously, and has mastered the ability of funneling astral power into his abilities. Whether this was always the case is unknown, and many question the validity of the claims, since Keo has not been in any kind of actual combat scenario for hundreds of years and is rarely seen in public.

### Astral Exploration

Contrary to popular understanding, the astral realm is experienced widely by all conscious beings. It is the formless realm in which dreams take place, and a state of mind that can be accessed through intense meditation and the ingestion of certain compounds. It poses no great danger to the average human, though the same cannot be said for talented channelers who are able to immerse themselves completely within the realm.

The Astral is the source of all conscious experience, from the pinnacle of ecstasy to the pit of utter torment. As such, many beings and entities can be found that reflect these states of being. Slag itself is understood to have its origins in the astral realm, its source of consciousness being the dark deity Krozox. Just how much Keo and the Apostles know about Krozox is a mystery, as it is never discussed with the rest of humanity. Many contest whether Krozox could ever be destroyed. However, such discussions are not debated in public, as it is a taboo to speak of Krozox as a conscious being.

Within the Astral, there is an infinite expanse of ever-shifting and malleable reality. It can be explored, but it never remains stable for long. However, there have been documented cases of unnaturally talented channelers discovering regions of the astral realm that remain stable. Within these regions, the channelers could communicate with certain entities and interact with astral objects on a level that left lasting effects on their mind and impressions on their physical bodies. This proved to be extremely dangerous, and one channeler entered a permanent coma during one of these explorations.

Despite these documented experiences, the astral realm is still considered the most mysterious domain conceivable.

## Synopsis

Luciel arrives at the City in the Sky, hopeful he can retrieve what he’s lost. All is not as it seems, though, as Neldahl holds many secrets in unlikely places. How many of the city’s curious features are merely the proclivities of Lord Reinstar, and how many speak to conspiracy? The S-rank isn’t sure he wants to know, so it’s a good thing he has plenty to occupy him, like hitting the books, practicing magic, and exploring the labyrinthine halls of the Sorcerer’s Guild. The solution to regaining his powers surely lies somewhere within their vast archive of tomes...or so Luciel would like to believe. But trouble has a way of finding the poor healer-on-hiatus, and unfortunately, he’s grown used to it. It’s only a matter of time before it arrives. The question now is whether he’ll be ready to face it when it does.

## Summary

With the dawn of Keonism came a new paradigm of understanding the universe. Religious symbols of the past were replaced with “Stream” philosophy. The essence of this worldview was that the entire cosmos --this universe and all universes, seen and unseen-- was part of a flow, an eternal and infinite series of streams of unfolding energy. There was no fighting the current, no end or beginning to things, only consistent change.

It was through this philosophy that Keo’s emergence into the world was explained. His power originated from a different realm, brought to the material world’s stream through mystical tributaries. Human lives submerged into and emerged out of the stream at birth and at death; everything was temporary in appearance but eternal at the core, making reincarnation the default belief. The belief in reincarnation played a major role in military philosophy, as sacrificing your temporary physical body for Keo was described as a great honor and privilege.

Keo's physical appearance is nothing short of godly. Standing well over 5 meters in hight (having grown since his first appearance), his appears to have porcelain white flesh. Some have described it as having a malleable quality, not unlike slagic flesh, while others swear that it is hard as diamond. One undisputed feature is his singular purple eye, located in the center of a slim, crested head. Tales from the Crusade state that he possesses the ability to shoot beams of piercing psychic energy through this eye, but in the present of 3044 Keo has not engaged in combat for hundreds of years.

### Personality and Abilities

#### Holy Implements:

Keo's primary implements include his own *Piercing Eye* and a massive blade, *The Sun Sword.*

#### Psychic Ability:

Corruptive cleansing, Protective Aura, Foresight, Telepathy, Astral Projection, Piercing Beam, more speculated.

#### Personality:

Only the Apostles are intimately familiar with Keo's personality. He was once described by Caritan as "a benevolent father of few words." Despite Keo's current mysterious nature, one of the earliest journals preserved from the beginning of the Void War describe him as such:

*“He gives rousing speeches before each battle, like I’ve never heard before. His words fill you with a bravery that I didn’t think was possible. He doesn’t sleep, either. At night, tons of us come to him with injuries and questions and stuff. All through the night, he heals the bodies and minds of people waiting for hours to see him. I don’t know where his energy comes from. It must be infinite, though.”*
Hados

## Summary

The first semi-habitable planet discovered in the age of wormhole tech, Hados was designated to be little more than a major military outpost. Though it boasts several renowned colonies, there is little to be said about the climate and landscapes of the planet. Ashen wastelands of never-ending fog and bleak, craggily mountains are about all Hados offers once one leaves the comfort of the fortified and terraformed colonies. A stormy and frigid graveyard by night, a desolate grey expanse of by day.

A small planet, Hados’ entire landmass consists of two large continents surrounded by obsidian seas of toxic ooze, barely recognizable physically or chemically as water. Although quite hostile to life, Hados quickly became a keystone resource for its abundance of metals and oil. The population of the planet, confined to heavily industrialized colonies and a few cities scattered across the planet, is fairly militaristic and conservative. After its colonization in 2803, it only took a few decades before the first slag invasion wiped out the colony of Empyrean. This event shook the colonists, and from that day on the people of Hados learned to expect an outbreak at any moment.

### Capital City: *Archangel*

Named after the legendary Archangels, this was the first base and remains within the most fortified colony. It houses not only advanced defenses, but also a population of 2.3 million, as well as the famous Unum Vires Godfried Military Academy and the impressive Keonic church, Arnon Charterhouse.
Dhoran

Dhoran is a Dwarf and was one of the slaves Luciel bought from the Illumasian slaver in Yenice

## Background

In a drunken state King Rockwell egged him on to swear that he would forge the greatest sword ever made. He was unsuccessful and was enslaved as a result. At some point after that he lost both of his arms and was sold to an Illumasian slaver in Yenice.
Brod

* Anime
* Manga

**Brod** (ブロド) is the Guildmaster Merratoni Adventurer’s Guild and the good friend and Master of Luciel.

## Appearance

A rugged man he bears a scar on his face. He is taller than Luciel, not extremely buff, yet undoubtedly someone to be reckoned with and has a gruff voice. Aside from his face, anywhere that his skin is visible revealed scars of all kinds, from blades and monsters alike.

## Background

He was formerly in an adventuring party with Gulgar and Galba, but they decided that they wanted to foster future generations and took over the Merratoni Adventurer's Guild.

## Power & Abilities

* He specializes in speed
* Brod and Lionel are approximately equal in strength

## Trivia

His name Brod is from german/polish descent and was a surname mostly given to bakers. Also in the german dub his name is pronounced almost the same as the word "Brot" which means bread.
Deoxiofetamine “Octane”

## Summary

While drug synthesizers on Heptin produce volumes of illicit narcotics, there are plenty of substances that exist in a gray area. *Deoxiofetamine* stands out among them. It is commonly referred to as "octane" due to its tendency to put the amygdala's fight or flight response into overdrive. In addition to over-stimulating biological survival mechanisms, it also dulls pain and tends to make the recipient highly energized. This sensory overload leads to a significant dip in frontal lobe activity, which results in extremely poor decision-making ability. In very small doses octane has proven useful in combating severe energy deficits and for treating malnourishment to provide sufficient energy boosts, though the research there is slim and borderline illegal in some Keonic nations.

Octane is classified as a category 4 drug which marks it as one of the most dangerous of Heptin’s narcotics. Since it does have limited medicinal use, the drug isn’t illegal for anyone operating under a medical authorization. The problem comes in with recreational use or even more so, as a combat drug. There have been many cases of Unum Vires soldiers abusing the drug in combat scenarios. While this often supercharges the soldier's combat abilities, there are no shortage of horror stories of soldiers making critical mistakes or miscalculations that lead to their death or (in extreme cases) the death of entire platoons. Despite this danger, some U.V. higher ups have been known to keep a store of octane handy in case the odds shift significantly against them.

### Growth and policing:

Deoxiofetamine is made from Hysur plants, and is found in the flower of the plant. There are various solvents which can be used for the extraction of the drug. The deoxiofetamine is extracted and crystalized, then crushed into tiny shards and smoked. Unfortunately for the authorities, octane is surprisingly easy to synthesize. As such, Keonic forces heavily police this drug due to its effects. There have been many murders committed as a result of assailants smoking octane, and many bar fights have taken a deadly turn due to wanton use of the psychoactive drug.

With the dragon “slayed” and corruption in the Church uprooted, Luciel returns to Yenice a hero, but a hero’s work is never done. His revolution is ambitious (too ambitious, some might say), and in the wake of change always comes resistance. As it turns out, dragons just might be the least of his worries when he realizes that the weeds he plucked might have only been a symptom of the City of Freedom’s underlying disease. Politics are a dangerous game and Luciel’s found himself stranded on the board, but is he a player or a pawn?

レベル 6

この暗闇の中でもはっきり分かるほど...
***床に血が染みついているんだ...***

**生存難易度: クラス 4**
**》危険**
**》対策が困難**
**》エンティティが生息しているかは不明**
**レベル 6**はBackroomsの7番目のレベルです。

**レベル 6**のイメージ。

概要
--

**レベル 6**は、金属でできた壁、レンガ状の床、複雑に絡み合うパイプや配管で構成された、詳しい構造が不明な空間である。どうやら狭い道が複数組み合わさってできている複合施設のようで、天井らしきものを確認することはできない。レベル全体が真っ暗闇に包まれており、どこにも光源は存在していない。どれだけ長時間経っても通常のように目が暗闇に慣れることはなく、探索は手や足で構造を確認しながら進むしか方法が存在しない。

このレベルに光源を持ち込もうとしても、未知の要因により使用することが出来なくなる。例えば、ろうそくは何故か火が付かず、ライターは火花を出さず、ランタンは人間が触れるだけで大破し、懐中電灯は機械音らしきものを出すだけで光がつかないなどの現象が発生する。しかも、レベルから脱出した後は問題なく使用が出来るため、異常はこのレベル内限定のようだ。

さらに、このレベル内では音がほとんど聞こえない。**レベル 6**を探索する場合は、暗闇、静寂、そして孤独が敵として立ちはだかることになる。**レベル 6**を数分間探索した放浪者のほとんどは、恐怖、不安、焦りなどの精神的なダメージを受け始め、段々と正気度も低下していく。正気度が低下し始めると、さっきまで静寂だったのが嘘だったように幻聴が聞こえ始める。パイプから水が滴り落ちる音、叫び声のような恐ろしい音など種類は様々で、一部の人はこの時から自分が自分か分からなくなってくる感覚に襲われると言う。

レベル 9の家で見つかった手書き地図。正確さや、作成者は不明。

完全な暗闇のせいでこのレベルの探索は進んでいないが、貴重な資料として、この手書きの地図が存在している。これは、レベル 9の家の一つで見つかった物で、**レベル 6**の構造を手や足のみで観察、記録したと思われている。この地図の信憑性を完全に確かめることは難しいため、これが完全に合っているかどうかは分からない。また、**レベル 6**は自分の手すらもうっすらとしか見えない空間であるため、この地図通りに進もうとしても、そもそも頭で暗記する必要がある。

エンティティはこれまでに確認されていないが、このレベルはメインナインの中で最も危険なレベルだと言われている。ここで危険なのは周りではなく、自分自身である。暗闇の中で一人孤独なのが長時間続くということだけで、ほとんどの人が精神異常を引き起こすことになり、正気を失えば自分で行動を制御できなくもなる。このレベルでは、どうにかして、正気を保ってほしい。もしこのレベルに行かないといけない場合は、必ずアーモンドウォーターを持って行くように推奨する。

## エンティティ

今までの探索でエンティティが生息しているのは確認されていない。だが、レベル全体が暗闇に包まれているため単に見つけられていないだけかもしれないし、このレベルで聞こえる音は、幻聴ではなく実際にエンティティが引き起こしている可能性もゼロではない。もしかしたら、あなたのすぐ隣で息をひそめ、捕食する機会をずっと伺っているのかもしれないため、注意は怠らないようにするべきである。

## グループや前哨基地

完全な暗闇のせいで他の放浪者の姿すら一切見えないため、**レベル 6**で基地を作るのは不可能である。

## 出入口

### 入り口

* レベル 4で仕事部屋にあるロッカーに隠れると、ここに来ることが出来る。
* レベル 5のボイラー室を長時間進み続けると、ここに来る可能性がある。
* レベル 11に低確率で生成される9階建て赤色のビルのエレベーターで6階を押すと、ここに来ることが出来る。
* レベル 6.1で錆びたドアに入ると、ここに来ることが出来る。

### 出口

* 長時間彷徨い続けると、レベル 7に移動する可能性がある。
* 壁に開いた穴を見つけ、入るとレベル 8に移動する。
* 螺旋階段を降りると、レベル 28に移動する。
* 木製のドアに入ると、レベル -1に移動する。
* 床に敷かれているコードで偶然つまづくと、レベル 6.1に移動する。意図的につまづいても移動しないようだ。

Tuvis

## Summary

Compared to its sibling moons, Tyvorn and Kenzilia, Tuvis is profoundly plain. It has no atmosphere, no life, and few useful minerals. Just a big ball of rock that orbits the planet Hados. However, that's not to say that it doesn’t have its uses.

In the year 2808, Tuvis became the site of Clernora Station, a communications post for U.V. installations on Hados. This aided in the ability to rapidly alert and send distress signals, messages or reinforcement requests to other other stations spread across the local star system.

Tuvis has also been the site of experimental technologies ranging from weapons of mass destruction to terraforming tech. Due to this, there are a number of heavily altered zones on the planet, including a handful of toxic dead zones.

**レベル 11.5**は、レベル 11のサブレベルです。

レベル 11.5*内で撮影された1枚目の写真。
中心地から8km離れた場所で撮影されたと思われる。*

概要
--

**レベル 11.5**はレベル 11に似ているが、農地に隣接する非ユークリッドな無限の田舎町のような空間である。このレベルでは、小さな家、コーヒーショップ、小売店、小さなオフィスビルなどが存在する。このレベルの建物はすべて5階建て以下なため、小さな町のような雰囲気がある。お店の中には、半分くらいの確率で通常のお店で売っているようなものが置いてある。残りの半分は、何も置いていない空っぽの状態である。また、レベル全体に電気が通っている。**レベル 11.5**のいくつかのエリアは、弱いが、実際にWi-Fi信号を持っている。住宅には、家具、台所用品、暖房器具、基本的な生活用品が置かれている。このレベルの奇妙な特性は、どの家にもバスルームがないことである。

時間帯はいつも朝の10時頃で、気温は18℃と安定している。**レベル 11.5**では、給水塔や穀物サイロが数マイルおきにあり、たまに倉庫も存在するが、すべて空っぽである。沸騰させれば飲める小川もいくつかあるほか、すべての建物には水が流れている。アメリカ中西部の小さな町に住んでいた人放浪者は、このレベルを少しは故郷のように感じられるかもしれない。

**レベル 11.5**には、"セントラルエリア "と呼ばれるエリアがある。このセントラルエリアは、2つの小川が合流し、このレベルで最も高い建物が存在する場所の事である。また、ここにはサニービルと呼ばれるコミュニティがある。**レベル 11.5**の平和と安全性から、多くの放浪者がセントラルエリアに滞在・居住することを決めている。推定13,000人の放浪者が、**レベル 11.5**を住みかとしている。

**レベル 11.5**では、通常、1.5kmから8kmの範囲に家や会社、その他の建物が存在する。そのすぐそばには、小麦、大麦、米、そしてリンゴのような味がするといわれる干し草に似た紫色の植物を栽培する農地がある。これらの農地には、トラクターなどの農機具や倉庫、サイロ、馬小屋などがよく見られる。また、農地を貫く未舗装の道路付近には、時折、家や小さなマーケットがある。建物のない場所には、2.5km²ほどの小さな森が存在することもある。このレベルでは、コマドリ、カージナル、スズメなどの鳥類や、ハト、フクロウ、タカなどの小鳥を見かけることもできる。セミは、アメリカオハイオ川流域のような地域で見られる他の一般的な昆虫と共に鳴き声を発している。鹿やキツネは、森林地帯やその周辺で見かけることができる。

このレベル最大の脅威はエンティティではなく、ハチやスズメバチであり、異常に多いと言われている。他にも、このレベルにしかいない動物が数匹いるという。一つは8本足で猫のような大きさの鹿。このクモのような鹿はとても人懐っこいのだが、放浪者の食べ物を盗んでいくことがある。もう一匹は、6本の脚と2本の尾を持つネズミのような動物であり、尾の長さは0.6mにもなる。

## エンティティ

**レベル 11.5**では、フェイスリング、ハウンド、ハーベスターが生息している。しかし、その数は非常に少なく、**レベル 11効果**を持っているようで、見かけたとしても大抵は見過ごされる。ただし、イライラさせると攻撃してくることもあるため、侮辱をすることは危険である。

Tsumanta

## Summary

The *Tsumanta* is a rare, sentient crustacean dwelling in the deeper parts of Heptin’s oceans. While research on the species is slim, there have been some notable efforts by recognized marine biologists such as Kikor Salhk, and Maria Sélacosa to uncover the mysteries of these reclusive animals. Their research led to the discovery of several distinct populations ranging in the hundreds of thousands, though the sheer size of Heptin's oceans make it impossible to estimate the total population of the species. The tsumanta are a social species, apparently capable of advanced communication, social structure, and even a creative culture of sorts. The rocky dwellings of tsumanta are often decorated with local flora and minerals, and these decorations seem to undergo changes that follow cyclical seasons. Despite their intelligence (or perhaps due to it), tsumanta typically avoid humans, and cases of aggression have been documented.

### Appearance and biology

Fully matured tsumanta (maturing at the equivalent of 40 Earth-years) are very large creatures, typically reaching ~16 meters in length. Their sheer mass and the thickness of their exoskeletons make them extremely heavy creatures; while they are adept at moving in water, they are extremely slow and vulnerable on land.

They bear some of the anatomical similarities to Earth crustaceans, possessing two compound eyes on extendable eye stalks and large mandibles for crushing their food (primarily bivalve-like shellfish known as *larger vaultshell*). Tsumanta also have large lobster-like tails used for locomotion, balance, and defense. Four large limbs and two small limbs on the midsection appear to be dedicated to locomotion, while two large frontal limbs with sharp tips and edges are used for piercing objects like shells or slashing away predators or opponents.

However, perhaps the most unique feature of the tsumanta is the crest on the top of the head. Tsumanta can produce a wide variety of sounds which enable them to communicate underwater and out of water. A complex system of air sacs are compressed, pushing air through the *servian passages* which are lined with specialized soft tissue called the *sapila*, creating vibrations. These vibrations are focused using the crest, which can be manipulated to drag out the sound for longer periods, create shorter bursts of sound, or produce one large pulse of sound.

While it is theorized that tsumanta possess a complex grammatical language, it is yet to be decoded. Sélacosa has made significant progress in understanding tsumanta culture and communication, and has expressed a theory that tsumanta are just as intelligent and emotional as humans. Many scientists disagree with this claim, but all agree that further research is warranted for this bizarre species.
Ryjher spice

## Summary

Ryjher spice, or "ryjher", is a common spice found on Heptin that is used for culinary purposes and as a preservative. Due to the sweltering tropical temperatures on the planet, locally-sourced preservatives are a valuable commodity. While more advanced Keonic nations and colonies have access to electrical power in order to freeze foodstuffs, many ex-com and remote non-Keonic settlements rely on Ryjher for preserving food in bulk. In order to make the spice, the semi-soft *cataba* of the plant's fruit is sun dried and then ground into powder. When mixed into water, the spice forms a viscous paste. Foods dipped into this paste and set out to dry are perfectly preserved in a ryjher casing when the paste hardens. This casing can later be broken open when the food is ready to eat.

### Biology:

The spice is harvested from the Ryjher plant's fruit, or more accurately the seed of the fruit. Ryjher plants grow as parasitic vines, wrapping around the trunks and branches of trees to reach sunlight. These vines produce large, round fruits. The spice is found in the large pip-like formation in the center of the fruit called a *cyrisi*. While the hard external husk of the cyrisi is useless, the semi-soft interior called the *cataba* is the real gem. The *cataba* is the part that is dried and ground up to form ryjher. The rest of the fruit is edible.

### Distribution and management:

Ryjher is most commonly found around the equatorial regions of Heptin due to the hotter temperatures bringing higher levels of vine growth which the plant requires for survival. While it is found in most regions of Heptin, distribution thins out towards the coastal regions.

While Ryjher is common enough and is often an unremarkable sight it does play an important role in preserving meats for non-Keonic communities and ex-coms who have scarcer access to electricity and modern methods of food preservation. Since the Fall of Kynon, even many Keonic colonies have been forced to rely on ryjher due to the sudden influx of citizens. Across the multiplex, it has become one of the most popular culinary spices and is one of Heptin’s largest exports.
