i. Omega Dimensional Rift is about a mining community owned by the country of Verimore. Located in the far north on the Stone Isles, they are absolutely frigid, but also subject for a curious phenomenon called a sogidne. A stream of spirits and lost souls are said to be able to be seen from the isle on a blue moon. On one blue moon, Governor No. 8 of Lavu travels to the Stone Isle Mines to see the sogidne for himself. When it occurs, Governor No. 8 becomes frightened, having seen spirits once before within Castle Adelais, while it was being excavated. On the ship home, Governor 8 is visited by a spirit, telling him that he will be punished for defiling the crypt of Adelais... I woke up in a hospital bed again. I groaned as my stomach began to hurt. Oscar was sitting next to me, and he said that he carried me back to Lavu after I passed out on the road. I believed him. I told him what I had seen in the vision that I had when we encountered Opehla Goesiadu Garma. Oscar nodded and appeared to acknowledge what I said. Just then, some soldiers from Lavu walked into the room. I sat up, but they pointed their pistols at me. I was clearly under arrest.

ii. Reversal Handcuffed and feeling ill, I was marched to the Wind Element building, where the Windy Summit was located. In the pit of my stomach, I felt as though I was going to die. I was locked in a room with plenty of books, and I realized that this was the room with some of the oldest records on history known to man in Zeffon. I was curious to know why they would trust a person like me in a place as precious as this.

iii. Enflesh A man strolled in. He was a very high ranking official based on his uniform. He introduced himself as a man named Keliu. He was a constantly grinning man with his elevated cheeks hiding most of his eyes. The door opened and closed behind me, and there was Oscar. "How do you do, good sir?" said Keliu in a bubbly tone. "I said I'm fine," I replied. "You asked that already." "NOT YOU," snapped Keliu, his face suddenly growing cross, "Oscar." Oscar told Keliu that he was fine, and Keliu readopted his characteristic grin. This, Oscar told me, was a man that had helped create the dimension of Zeffon. Zeffon was a strange place that was created to avoid systematic surveillance in the real world. The real world is documented in a seldom-reproduced journal called "Sand", which is occasionally handed to individuals that could understand the contents and know them responsibly. I received a copy of Sand written by a curious organization called Dynamix16. With Keliu's invitation, I sat down and began to read. The words are written as definitions to Zeffonian terminology. The origin of these words is unclear, but they read as follows:

iv. Forest, I 7429FD describes the first city to appear in the world of Zeffon in the year 35. It is called Inejeheim and its first leader is only referenced by the name “Short”. Whether this refers to his height or his name has been forever lost. Active Origin refers to the moment the Creator came down from a purple star to visit the population in the year 16. He showed humans how to build towns and cities, how to harvest food from the ground, but more importantly, a way to constantly be reborn. This, along with many other things, was recorded in the Book of the Wind, which later became the Wind Book. Most of this book is lost since most of the pages have faded, but it, at one time, chronicled the early years of humanity’s existence.

v. Urn Untitled refers to the civil war that broke out in the year 38 between the people outside of Inejeheim and the people within it. To defend itself, Inejeheim builds giant walls around the city, and the Creator offers his powers and raises the land underneath it, causing the city to suddenly be located on a high mountain.

vi. Stone Isle Mines Pathier is an album about a rebellious group who left Inejeheim to die. After the mountains were raised by the Creator, the city fell into ruin as the old citizens of the town could not gather food or materials. The action that had once been seen as a city defense became a… curse. The Creator has not been seen since, and the last person died in the giant bell tower in the center of the afflicted city. According to the Wind Book, his name was Isaac, and he perished in the year 68. The Pathiers were a group that created the town and later city of Uaa, which was located far to the east. Low refers to the curse that the Creator later put on Inejeheim after its demise. Any man who enters the forbidden city will be torn apart by unknown forces and shall initiate a new age. Pathier refers to the success of creating Uaa, and the unification of the people thereafter. Delta is about another conflict that breaks out in the year 79, where the original Pathiers are expelled from the town. The town is then renamed Lavu, and the people who sent their original leaders into exile become the Windy Summit, a group of leaders consisting of nine members. It also refers to the triangle of three kingdoms that exists thereafter (Lavu, Unkardia, and Exeräise). 514 refers to the predicted demise of Lavu, told be a soothsayer named Norfell. Considered a blasphemer, Norfell is expelled to the Chaoslands to the southwest, where he resides in a desert canyon that he names “Du Garma”.

vii. Sogidne Exp refers to the building of a third, much smaller kingdom of Unkardia. Norfell marries his follower Mathilda, where they have four children named Emeroch, Uaa, Adelais, and Lydia, Lydia being the youngest born in the year 115. A war breaks out between Unkardia and a nation named Exeräise. The people of Exeräise are descendants of six of the original fifteen Pathiers, and they slaughter most of Unkardia in large battles known as grees. Around the year 119, there are only about 60 Unkardians left, who seek refuge in Du Garma Canyon. They create what becomes known as the Fortress of Winds, and Norfell uses much of his former strength to summon a large guardian known as Tereban. The year 120 becomes known as the Year of Tereban, who fends off at least 400 soldiers before the people of Exeräise decide that enough is enough. ..reel refers to the odd behavior of some of the Unkardians, who rebel and build a large city known as Cathrop. The Kingdom of Anne is established in the year 122, with Castle Dränsilane being created in six months. The center of their power apparently lies in the bell that was taken from Inejeheim’s bell tower. Block 8 refers to an event that causes the people of Exeräise to move across the ocean to create a town named Ghel. People who later encounter their old kingdom find nothing but black sand and a very flat land with no ruins, with the exception of one large tower.
