The World of Khassid
A living world shaped by gods, scars, and stories.
Khassid is a world where belief gives birth to divinity, where magic courses through the land as the Blood of Xantheris, and where every region bears the echo of the Cataclysm that nearly unraveled all life. It is a place of balance and tension, beauty and pain, history and possibility.
From the volcanic sanctuaries of Gharnakthul to the fragmented archipelago of Morgdhav, Khassid offers stories at every turn—some written in stone, others still waiting to be forged.
This page serves as your gateway into the deeper lore, systems, and spirit of Khassid.
