i. North From Here, the Old Judge of Chaos
After the village far north of Lavu mysteriously disappeared, many people began to wonder happened to it. The forest surrounding Heayth's Spiral was believed to be cursed. Yet, despite this, many people built villages in the forest adjacent to it. No one wanted to live close to the oppressive and enormous Kingdom of Lavu, so the farther north a colony, the better off it was.
The curious day came however, when a girl named Reve entered a village called Toletara.

ii. Nargraven Forest
In essence, a man who knows the least knows the most. That was the motto of Fair Onrac, the unknown one. He died in a place called Nargraven Forest, where, if one ventures too deep, the forest turns upside-down, leaving the unfortunate traveler to fall into the green sky.

iii. The Inejwood
Deeper, past the point of no return for travelers are the ruins of an old town. How do I know this? I live there. The town itself is called Inytrvia, and is the oldest town in Zeffon, created when humans were starting to find out the benefits of working together.

iv. Gallows in the Sky
Luckily, the town of Inytrvia can be approached, but only at night. If the town is approached by day, if the sky turns green, the traveler or adventurer is sucked into its abyssal clouds. Apparently, there's an entire world up there, but no one has wanted to venture into the sky to find out.

v. Exeräise
There is an old volume by Fair's grandfather (ironically) that talks about the Nargraven Forest and its dangers. Fair apparently wanted to experiment with disaster, given his desire to find the civilization in the sky. The civilization (whether it exists or not) apparently had the rare ability to understand something that the Isgas in Zeffon only just had the opportunity to grasp.

vi. Tascan
There is a cave near a small town called Ytrac. Ytrac is the closest town to Fair Tower, and a lot of people have noticed the impact that it has had on the people there and the earth around them. The town of Ytrac is constantly surrounded by decaying earth, so much so, that the town is typically only inhabited as a trading post, with no permanent residents.

In any case, the cave is like a long tube - it travels endlessly underground until it emerges on the other side of the mountain next to Ytrac. Then, there is a long decaying plain before the terrain begins to become rough. At the end, amid broken and decaying earth, is Fair Tower.

viii. Gallows on the Hill (Piano Reprise)
The valley in which Fair Tower is built is so old, the mountains supposedly are still alive, unlike their counterparts that are not sentient and are basically a pile of rocks and earth. No one has been able to see these wonders though because of the endless cave. The cave is infinitely long, and only people of the Nargraven Forest sky civilization can break the endless pattern.

ix. Collapse (Demo 12-2011)
Another reason no one's ever tried to enter the Fair Tower Valley is because the cave has collapsed on visitors that have tried to traverse it, but it has reformed, like it's alive. However, the people inside never make it out of the cave in time.

However, there still tales of the people who used to live in the Fair Tower Valley before the earth began to decay. They were the ancient Ognians, spreading their empire from Unkardia to Exeräise to Värta to Ytrac. They came across the cave and somehow managed to traverse it into the valley, where they met the living mountains and stone giants.

However, there was also a curse that had just freshly been placed on the valley at the time. The ancient Ognians got there right after Fair Onrac, who created Fair Tower to harvest the power of the Earth and turn it into a type of mist that could be used to turn people into savagely competent warriors. FIghters needed simply to breathe in the mist, and soon they would become strong and practically immortal.

xii. Human Bradyzoites, Pt. 3 (Vuzoulüth)
A giant by the name of Vuzoulüth changed Fair Onrac's plans by kicking over the tower, snapping it off near the base. Infuriated, Fair Onrac cursed the valley to never again know peace and the power of the earth.

The first piece sounded like what I imagine the red eye storm of Jupiter sounds like with winds blowing hundreds of miles per hour that could shred through flesh like wet tissue. I heard a intriguing bass synthesizer in the background. The second track was more harsh noise with an angelic choir in the background and the final piece was a cacophony of machines. I really don’t like Harsh Noise Wall but I can’t deny that it is art because it can evoke an unsettling feeling. This was not to my taste

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I love the beautiful sounds of this album but I don’t have a favorite song. I have a favorite title, it’s called “I Am An Idol, But You Can Call Me The Pope”.. p.s- The Pope Smokes Dope!

C. Diab describes “Exit Rumination” as “a sonic exorcism,” and its dark, swelling songs are equal parts catharsis and tension.
