The Vândel

The Vândel is the last remaining source of pure magic in Lothlaro-dûr. When the world was falling to the corruption, the coven of witches that would later become known as The Fates summoned the remaining purity from the world and hid it inside of a diamond, locking it away inside of the deepest tomb of the former city of Nazaria.

They did this in case someone were to ever travel back to the world and seek a portal out. The Vândel only has enough magic left to hold a portal open for a short time. In the tomb it was placed in, the magic is impregnable to corruption, but if it were to be removed from it’s hiding spot then the magic would fade quickly and be consumed by the dark magic that corrupted Lothlaro-dûr.
