As an Unbound, your ultimate source of power is your belief. As you translate your belief into impact, you will change the world. You will also change: you will grow in abilities and vision. You may feel unstoppable. But beyond a certain level of growth, all Unbound face an obstacle.

We call it the Wall. The Wall takes different forms for different individuals. For one Unbound, it may be a task on which they have procrastinated but must finally complete. For example, a cleric may now finally make a pilgrimage to their order's most revered holy site. For another Unbound, it may be a promise they have made that they must keep, even at great cost. For example, a paladin may take an Oath of Duty early in their career, but now finally renounce their family name and right of inheritance. For yet another Unbound, it may be ending a relationship that's hurting their heart. For example, a rogue inquisitive may have been mentored by a charming smuggler before joining the city watch. As an inspector they've covered for their mentor's operation in gratitude. But now the rogue finally tells their mentor that they'll stop looking the other way.

As an obstacle, the Wall may have external challenges, mysteries, or costs. But ultimately, the barrier is within you. The cleric who makes the pilgrimage makes themselves vulnerable for a higher level of communion with their god or pantheon. The paladin who renounces their name puts aside ego, finally ready to be known only as a selfless champion. The rogue who breaks ties with their mentor finally commits to the belief that no one should be above the law. That kind of commitment is necessary to unlock the full potential of your belief.

The Wall is slang for a massive barrier covering the Closeness and preventing almost all communication and travel.

Background

The Council of Gevoka is a multiverse alliance of nations and other factions and powers. The Council decided that Earthlings are too dangerous at their current level of development, especially based on their wars and ecological stewardship (or lack thereof).

The most powerful paranormal group on Earth was the Rational Ascendancy (RA). RA had maintained a vast boundary called the Breakwater, restricting communication and travel in and out of the Closeness. RA later strengthened this boundary and called it Palisade.

The Council seized control of Palisade and upgraded it. Technically, it's Palisade 2.0, but most inside simply call it "the Wall." Now almost nothing gets in or out. Furthermore, the Wall interferes with communication and travel even among the worlds in the Closeness. Many paranormal beings were trapped in the Closeness on whichever world they were on when the Wall went up. This includes fae, spirits, elementals, celestials, fiends, etc.
