No gods come to Grimnest.
Sealed on all four sides — the Grand Divide to the north, the Santos Sea to the south, the mountain-god Enkai to the east, and the uncrossable Canopy to the west — Grimnest stands alone. Its people, the Grimm, don’t worship deities. They commune with ancestors. The oldest Grimm families can call on Guardian Spirits so powerful they border on the divine themselves.
Why no gods live here is the great question. Some say it’s Enkai’s doing. Others whisper about a slumbering deity beneath the continent that repels all others. The Grimm don’t particularly care.
What Grimnest has in abundance, it has in full measure: pirates. The southern half, Lowplek, is home to Heaven’s Fall — the largest pirate armada on Tikor, led by the enigmatic Nubia out of Port Royal. Inland, the Crimson Hyenas raid Middels Valley. If you think “pirate” on Tikor, you think Grimnest.
