Throughout The Maharajagar, the Qi’tet’s journey revolves around the discovery and activation of the Shrines—a web of metaphysical anchors that tie together elemental power, timelines, and karmic balance. Each shrine is more than a location—it is an intersection of worlds, where the past, present, and possible futures meet.
The Shrines are dangerous to seek and dangerous to hold. Some lie hidden in mountain monasteries; others slumber beneath cities, deserts, or oceans. When awakened, they shift the balance of history, rippling across realities. In the wrong hands, they can unmake entire timelines.
The quest to bind the Shrines leads the Qi’tet into alliances with forgotten gods, spirit guardians, and immortal wanderers. It forces them to confront not just enemies like Long Feng, but also the karmic weight of their own actions.
By the time the final war approaches, the Shrines are no longer just tools—they are the last hope for sealing Carcosa and restoring order to a fractured multiverse.

    1. Thank you. It grew organically because of a new year’s resolution I’ve made 11 years ago to read the top 100 in the canon of the world literature. It’s also a condensation of my personal worldview from a fictive metaphysical perspective.
