Bursain  The Rock Cut Lose.

==Creation of Bursain==
The squiggle of Bursain was a flawed creation from the first step.  A [[squiggle]] is a construct using the Jewel of Judgment, either as a short work, or as the result of a failed attempt to create a pattern.  

Bursain was a creation of Finndo's in an attempt to create an island after his disastrous reign as King of Amber.  The Squiggle was created by King Finndo of Amber using the Jewel of Judgment as he attempted to flee an angry Oberon.  He had held the throne of Amber for nearly a hundred years during a sudden unexplained absence of Oberon. 

Finndo's intention was to create a island of reality that Oberon could not chase him into.  He vastly underestimated Oberon's powers and was eventually chased from the relative security of his creation into deep exile in Shadow. He left behind a collection of shadows controlled by the wearer of the Blade of Bursain-''Rosguara'' (Rock Guard)  The [[squiggle]] was created on a lesser pinnacle of the Rock Kolvir in the realm of the Primal Patter on Amber. It ripped the rock from the mountain, hurling it into shadow.

==Realms of Bursain==
Bursain is a limited shadow system of 5 shadows.  All are fairly watery worlds.  All have fairly dynamic landscapes. While there is some racial diversity across the worlds the main stock of people are a generally human race with a wide variety of strikingly different coloration. Hair colors range from blond to black, but incude a wide range of pastel colors as well.    

===Bural===
A forested wet world with many waterways.

===Burgath===
A rocky snowy world. 
 
===Brimsath===
A desert world divided by lush river valleys.  There are two main cultures in Brimsath.  The desert dwelling Alonaseth and the Valley dwelling Romsath.  

*Alonaseth
They are a mixture of nomad peoples with large oasis based cities.  Most of the Oasis cities are hard stone structures surrounded by tent cities and encampments.  There are groups of nomads who move from oasis to oasis following the migratory animals they live on.   Some nomads follow the "Alosaga Plants" that grow quickly.
**Alosaga Plants
The Alosaga Plants are a highly mobile plant with several stages of life.  It is a large heavy wooded plant with no permanent roots.  It blows around with the desert winds.  When the plant detects water pockets it quickly sends roots into the water. Within a few days long thin roots will anchor the tree in place.  Then the plant sprouts wide thick leaves a foot across and 2 feet long.  Tubers like potatoes grow quickly on the roots, storing water.  A rich stone fruit grows above ground with a juicy pulp. The woody branches grow a stiff short spines that can be removed easily and are ground into flower.  

Many Alosaga are tended reverantly by family groups.  They are not harnessed, but allowed to move with the winds, as the family follow it, harvesting the spines, fruits, leaves, and tubers.  Spines can be ground and used like flour.  Fruits can be uses similar to peaches and apricots, stone seeds planted can grow new plants, tubers can be used like potatoes.  Leaves are mashed to remove sugar, eaten cooked and raw before and after the the sugar is removed. the leaves can be dried and for a pleasant sweet smoking material.

Produce is farmed and sold as well as consumed by the tending families. 
*Romsath
A nomadic people living in the lush river valleys like elvers or rangers.

===Brindak===
A stringy world made of long thin land bridges, islands and waterways.

=='''Functions in Shadow'''==
Bursain is a limited shadow system but it has many of the functions of the full Pattern.  
A sigil of Bursain can be used in the same ways a Sign of the Pattern can be used for magical defenses, channeling raw power, and hanging spells.  A

==='''Suggestions and suspicions about the Inscription of Bursain'''===

*The inscription is considered an ''incomplete'' inscription.  Many attempts to finish the inscription have failed for unknown reasons.  

*The prevailing view is that the unfinished piece can not be finished since its creator badly bumbled the creation.  However it is widely believed by magical theory strongly believes that the massive unfinished work may be able to be used to add power or even complete correctly inscribed [[squiggles]].

*There has long been a belief that if the Rock Guard was driven into a squiggle it might join the two.  So those from systems of Azcala, Regor, Trasidy,Alamond, Thule, Atlantis, Adagalasck, and Talwas have been trying to gain access to Bursain and gain the blade for ages.

*Some believe the Rock Guard might add or repair destroyed realms like [[Paragon]] and [[Calmir]]'

*Some believe the Rock Guard and the addition of reality might elevate a shade pattern to a level far beyond its own.
