Sijin – Rift Card Cross The Ages | Lore

There exists, layered over our world, an invisible dimension.

A realm of shadows, without hope: The Inverworld.

It holds reflections of reality, lost memories, shifting forms that should no longer exist.

It is there, perhaps, that Sijin was born.

SIJIN – THE DREAM HUNTER

"Close your eyes… and never return."

It was neither beast, nor specter, nor even a forgotten god.

It was living oblivion. A creeping void.

And as the figure stared at it, something within them began to fade.

They no longer remembered their own face, their location, or the reason they were there.

With every heartbeat, a fragment of their being was torn away.

Their thoughts slipped through their fingers like water, until they no longer knew what they were fleeing.

Only this thing remained.

This shapeless aberration, its contours ever shifting.

It fed on the unspeakable—ravenous, insatiable.

And soon, they would understand: there had never been a before.

There would never be an after.

Only it.

About the Artist…

Erak Note is a cornerstone of the visual universe of Cross The Ages, with over 25 cards illustrated to date.

His work is defined by a bold artistic identity, balancing opulence and strangeness, blending organic textures, detailed ornamentation, and strong visual symbolism.

His instantly recognizable style dances between disturbing fairy-tale beauty and raw mysticism.
While his creations often feature enigmatic female figures, adorned with intricate jewelry and baroque fabrics, here he explores a darker and more abstract side, all while maintaining his mastery of composition and contrast.

For Sijin, Erak ventures into the realm of the shapeless and intangible.

The creature, born of the Inverworld, is depicted with a fluid, chaotic form, arms twisting in space, and a multitude of eyes staring hungrily into our world.
In the background, a titanic, gaping rift pulses at the heart of the composition.
A tiny, barely visible human silhouette gives scale to this cosmic aberration.

With this illustration, Erak Note offers a radically different vision—yet one that fits perfectly within the Cross The Ages universe.
