The sylph are by and large a xenophobic race, and suffer as little contact with erjan society as they can manage. Guard units, dispatched from their network of outposts encircling the region of Llyri, patrol the desolate cliffs in search of erjan incursion. Tensions are often high when these patrols meet with travelers coming to and from Amnu, and the language barrier can inadvertently escalate…
"Only Night will stop the mail." The slogan of the Western Allied Postal Guild is one of the most well-known turns of phrase in Erj, and it employs one of Erj's most well-known metaphors, as well. Emphasizing the Guild's tenacity and endurance, the phrase refers to the suneater concept of Night —the conclusion to the Great Day of Erj, beyond which the physical world will cease to be, absorbed by…
Once again the great stone doors of the RS fanart vault scrape open, and through writhing tongues of candlelit dust, awakened from their sleep of a thousand years, arise fan works from as far back in time as RS’ beginning—which Read More
The Western Allied Postal Guild has existed in one form or another from antiquity. Since the invention of the Hathi press, however, the organization has ballooned into a juggernaut institution tasked with delivering an exponentially-expanding volume of mail to all corners of the Western Waste—and even into the nearest regions of Erj's Eastern Waste, making it one of the few true interwaste…

Publication in Erj is made possible by way of the Hathi press , a device the origin of which is obscured by folklore. Named for a pre-Jassalean monk of the Xingu monastery in Odashq, the popular legend goes that the press was created from Hathi's desire to spend less time copying texts by hand, and more time partaking in the monastery's peerless lichen mead. In this story, Hathi is typically…
Today, Rising Sand turns TEN YEARS OLD! It’s been a difficult journey, the path strewn with obstacles, but we’re still standing! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all so much for taking an interest in our story. We’re Read More
Headquartered in Ras Huran, The Western Glaive is the paper of record for much of the Western Waste, and its readership, hundreds of thousand strong, extends from the easternmost edge of Amnu to the wall of Navi Yanu in the deep west. The Glaive is one of Erj's most respected broadsheet publications, and tends to forego sensationalism in favour of dry, factual information. While this has yet to…
Ingress to a sylph outpost is achieved through a small airlock between the hangar and living quarters. The purpose of this space is to remove stray ash particles which may remain after doffing Astral Templar armour or other scientific gear, and the mechanism by which this is accomplished is, of course, superior Llyran pipesmithing. Sylph structures are engineered 'pipes-first' to ensure natural…
Happy New Year! Or perhaps Cautiously Optimistic New Year? Or perhaps we abolish the concept of years altogether, given the last several? Calendars fake. Here’s some nice Jenn art to celebrate. So, where have we been? None of your business. Read More
