'RIFTWARD' At the dawn of the Third Age, the planes themselves shifted. As the cosmic dust settled, new links had been created between Serin and the four other Prime Planes. One of these planes, the Nether, held secrets from eons past, an amalgamation of lost Immortal creations and forgotten knowledge. Among this primeval lore were the teachings of the Riftward, a clerical order born in the depths of the furthest planes and previously unknown to the inhabitants of Serin. The Riftward acts as a steadfast anchor between Serin and the entropy of the other Prime Planes, serving as a protective specialist who manipulates the very fabric of these planes to sustain their allies. Unlike traditional clerics who rely on holy or unholy powers, the Riftward masters knowledge of the liminal spaces, weaving together ethereal wards that reinforce the soul against trauma. While they possess potent restorative gifts, their true mastery lies in their defensive versatility, shifting between planar wards to nullify attacks and blast their enemies with the focused madness of the endless beyond. They embrace only the neutral alignment and view balance as something that should exist not just between living entities but between the planes themselves. A Riftward embodies the cryptic nature of the far planes, often adhering to ancient and forgotten rituals while revering the endless cosmic expanse that grants them their powers.
