	Rēnaskúra is said to appear somewhat randomly in the world. Described as waves of chaotic mist infringing on reality, rēnaskúra is said to distort and darken the area in which it appears. It is said to resemble the static displayed on analog television screens when connecting to an invalid channel, hence being likened to sand. However, sometimes the rēnaskúra appears red, which Amphorean mythology holds is from a mixture of blood.		Rēnaskúra is said to appear somewhat randomly in the world.

	Kymaskótous is created when a creature or person is afflicted with black sand.

Kymaskótous is created when a creature or person is afflicted with black sand, generally by exposure to rēnaskúra. It is said to enter the blood of the animal or person, corrupting their body and mind over time and destroying them from the inside out. A creature or human fully corrupted by kymaskótous is called a '''kymaskiá'''; once someone becomes a kymaskiá, their spirit has left their body for Aidonia.

'''Rinascura''' ([[Ferritumulic]] {{ipa|ʀɪɴᴀꜱᴄᴜʀᴀ}}, Amphorean Ρηνασκόυρα ''Rēnaskúra''), also referred to as '''black sand''' or '''black tide''' (Amphorean Κυμασκότως ''Kymaskótous''), is a core part of [[Amphorean]] mythology. The idea first came from Hyperborea, where it was said to be first observed by man.

==Etymology==
Ferritumulic ''rinascura'' literally means "black sand," though ''rina'' itself is defunct, and the modern word for sand is ''sabe''. Ferritumulic always refers to the effects of rinascura as ''rinascura''. The twin English translations are because of the Amphorean words ''rēnaskúra'' (black sand) and ''kymaskótous'' (black tide), which do not mean the same thing in Amphorean like they do in Ferritumulic: while Hyperborean scholars refer to all effects therein as ''rinascura'', Epiphantine scholars separate the effects on the land from the effects on creatures and people.

==Stated effects==
The following sections will refer to these by their Amphorean names; ''rinascura'' can be used for both.

Rēnaskúra is said to appear somewhat randomly in the world. Described as waves of chaotic mist infringing on reality, rēnaskúra is said to distort and darken the area in which it appears. It is said to resemble the static displayed on analog television screens when connecting to an invalid channel, hence being likened to sand. However, sometimes the rēnaskúra appears red, which Amphorean mythology holds is from a mixture of blood.

Kymaskótous is created when a creature or person is afflicted with black sand. It is said to enter the blood of the animal or person, corrupting their body and mind over time and destroying them from the inside out. A creature or human fully corrupted by kymaskótous is called a '''kymaskiá'''; once someone becomes a kymaskiá, their spirit has left their body for Aidonia.
