Nexus

A nexus is an element of the scenery that can actively influence the course of a game, for it is endowed with great mystical powers. Examples of nexuses are legion: an altar dedicated to a particular god, a fountain of youth, a Kelt burial mound, a garden of fleesh-eating plants, a stone circle, etc.

An element of the scenery that is not a nexus is said to be "neutral." Nexuses are not placed on the battlefield at the same time as the neutral elements.

The "catalyst" is the fighter who activates the nexus. Some nexuses can only be activated by catalysts with specific attributes.
