Verge

Verge was once a city of the Seekers of Truth, built as close to the Estuary as they could. When it was later found, however, only the very edges of the city remained, with the rest buried under the First Seeker. The city had been overgrown by a vast, formless mass of red flesh that covered it like a spreading tumor, spilling into the Great River and infecting it while continuing to grow, giving the impression that it could one day cover the entire river and consume the Tomb of Ariel. This mass was not merely an abomination but the source of the Defilement, the origin of the horrid curse that had befallen the Great River, where even touching its flesh meant instant infection by Corruption. The ruins of Verge teemed with powerful and ancient Defiled, including Corrupted and Fallen abominations, along with countless Nightmare Creatures guarding the First Seeker, making it seem like an impossible place for a handful of Masters to overcome.

In its present state, Verge still stands though changed, distinguished from its phantom counterpart by the absence of the First Seeker, the abominable sea of flesh that once drowned the city now gone without a trace.

The city was built in the far reaches of the past, further downstream of the Great River.
