i. Agate (Suntower)

Any trace of Félix Oarr or 2510 have supposedly been eliminated.

The inspiration to document the world came in the form of a dream for Kin Tekraona, King of Ghel. 2510 had supposedly died of natural causes in his small dimensional space where he moderated the world of Zeffon. With the world of Zeffon in chaos with the exception of Ghel, Kin Tekraona felt the need explore the vast world. Kin knew from the years spent in refuge in the Great Limb Forest that all these "dimensions" were connected, that if one traversed the ocean far enough, one would even reach the Frogplain, where in the center 2510 had set up a small hut and sat down to meditate and dream. The dreams of those in the Frogplain control the happenings of Zeffon, and thus chaos was present for the 10,707 days that 2510 spent in the Frogplain without food or water.

From the Last Suntower that his people built to raise the dawn, Kin prepared for his journey. It was time to put the Agateitam to good use. The Agateitam was the remains of Vagard, Kin's father. Vagard, while in the Great Limb Forest, used his power as an Arc-Demai to sacrifice himself to be sure that no harm would befall his people ever again. It seemed to have worked, since Ghel had expanded since then, the land being so fertile that the harvests were very plentiful. Clean water flowed from Mt. Etehr, allow other villages to pop up around the rivers. The land was no longer grey, but a healthy shade of green. Things could hardly get better.

This describes the dream that Kin had in his chamber in the Last Suntower. The Suntowers were the towers the Arc-Demai built to raise the dawn. Arc-Demai were normally violent creatures, so the people of the continent Ghel would often stay on the island where the town of Ghel was. When their 100th birthday would come about, the old men and women would take a small boat to the mainland, where they evolved into Arc-Demai. Although three of these Arc-Demai migrated to Unkardia in the old days, the majority of them stayed on the island to fulfill their responsibility to create a Suntower and a Moontower every 12 hours in order to raise the sun and the moon. With their magic, it was hardly an issue. However, once 2510 died, the Arc-Demai died, and along with it, Eresymcaion and Muagarah, the two components of the Unknown Beast. Given that the sun and the moon relying on a civilization to summon them was a product of 2510's meditation, the sun and the moon returned to normal. The dream that Kin had covered all these topics, but was made especially significant when a strange voice made itself known. The only remaining blood of Unkardia was still alive. Her name was Sarah Lyeon.
