# The Fall

The FALL is not a single event, but a process—an erosion of reality that spreads quietly through Rift Space. Sectors destabilize, maps decay, and once-charted routes collapse into silence. Scholars disagree on its cause, but all agree on its outcome: what the FALL touches does not return unchanged.\
\
It repeats.

> *Some believe the FALL is accelerating.*
