Buried Realms

The Burried Realms lie underneath the mighty desert of Anauroch. It is home to the phaerimm, who are confined to the Burried Realms by the Sharnwall. This magical artifice that functions as a barrier for the phaerimm between their realm and the rest of Fearun was created thousands of years ago by the Sharn to imprison the phaerimm.

In old times Anauroch was the site of the great Netherese empire, now long lost and gone. Its ruins are found hidden in the sand and rocks of the Burried Realms. Since adventurers of any race can pass safely through the Sharnwall with the exception of the phaerimm themselves, many exploration party has ventured into the Burried Realms in search of ancient lore or highly prized Netherese magical items. Few have returned.

Recentely the magical barrier has been breached near the city of Everaska, setting the phaerimm free to wreak havoc in a wider world. The return of the City of Shade have contained the phaerimm so far by battle.
