Place
Zeolet’s Footprint
In some remote parts of the world there are voids in the Aether that look like enormous, deep footprints, and most of them are now filled with water. These places are called Zeolet’s Footprint, and they have always drawn the attention of scholars.1
The footprints are named for Zeolet, the goddess of magic, also called the Worldbreaker, who before mortals awoke walked the world as a giant avatar, weaving raw magic into a form they could use.2 Within her footprints mortal wizards cannot work any magic at all, because they cannot channel magical energies there.1
Many believe that the Worldbreaker did not leave these blank spots through neglect, but as a display of her power.1
