What is a Dimoran Fissure?

By Xelto, in Runewars Miniatures Game

I'm having trouble figuring out what this is supposed to be. It looks mostly like a portal to the underworld, or maybe a really odd forest fire. But it came with the Latari, so I don't think it's where the demons escaped from, and it's too contained for a forest fire. Anyone know more of the lore about this than I do?

I'm experimenting with some printable versions of the Latari Memorial right now. The prototypes look acceptable but in need of more detail. I figured I might give the Fissure a shot afterward, but I have no clue what it's supposed to look like in three dimensions.

In the Terrinoth source book for Genesys it talks about how the elves eventually tore holes in reality with certain magic. I think Malcorne’s forces were the ones who did it. Maybe those are the fissures?

That's good enough for me. Now I've just got to figure out how to represent this in three dimensions, while printing with plastic. (And/or adding various bits of fluff to a plastic base.)

Yes, Church is right. There is a parallel world of spirits and demons called the Aenlong. Dimoran fissures are rifts between the two dimensions. I believe the Fae originally came from the Aenlong through such fissures. Because elven ancestors were partly responsible for opening fissures, the Latari consider it a duty to hunt down any creatures that cross through the breaches. The reason I say "partly responsible" is because there is a race called the Dimor and they are who the fissures are names after, but I can't remember how they are involved.

I'm not sure how Dimoran Fissures relate to the Uthuk. The demons of the Chag'r wastes and Ru Steppes were first discovered by Llovar Rutonu, who was a dream walker. He found the demons in dreams and then developed rites to summon them, but I don't think they enter through Dimoran fissures because I don't think the Dimor are involved.

I dunno. Just take a gyro, mount it upright, put some flame paint on it, and set the sucker spinnng at the beginning of the game

I guess you could use red tzatziki sauce for the flames?

upset stomach, satisfied mind

If you make them green, they are essentially the "rifts" from Dragon Age: Inquisition. This also works well in explaining the "Up in Flames" objective card as the rifts seem to follow you around.

Fissures are vents/cracks/tears in the earth where lava can flow through, but doesn't erupt from.

So in this instance, it is probably a crack/vent in the earth that acts as a go-between and was probably not made intentionally.

Or maybe it was? I dunno! I still need to read all of my Realms of Terrinoth book.

They're going to end up pink, at least for me. I wanted to make them multi-colored, color changing, but the only LED sources I could find that had a small enough battery pack and enough distance between individual lights on a strand came in single colors only.
