A rift, also called a dimensional rift, is a tear in space that goes between the Sift and the Overworld, created by the Grand Illusioner using their staff.

Behavior

Rifts are temporary portals leading to and from the Sift. They are utilized by the High Council to transport troops throughout the Overworld, attacking villages remotely. Entering them in-game will behave similar to a dungeon, taking players to a small closed-off section of the Sift.

History

Quotes

“

The chamber was flooded with bright light emanating from a hole in space — a rift in the world. Light shifted through a rainbow of colors around the edges, and within was a place I'd never seen before.

„

— Harlow describing a rift
