🔥 1. The Flameborn Houses (Nether Empire)

⛏️ 2. The Soulforged Remnants (Undead Guardians)
Once knights, scholars, or builders, they were resurrected through Soul Magic in the Dungeons Era. They are now hollow, caught between memory and duty.

🏁 WRITER'S CLOSING GIFT: WORLD DYNAMICS
Spawn Logic: Everything is a consequence. There are no random mobs—each spawn means something is happening in that area.
Day/Night Cycles: Twilight mobs only spawn when dimensional sky flickers occur. Linked to End activity.
Redstone Reactions: Placing Redstone in warped biomes may "wake" Redstone Golems or open vaults.
Soul Density: Killing too many mobs in an area may summon Soul Reapers or Wraith storms.
Time Surges: Echo Crystals have chance to rewind nearby events or cause paradox clones.
