Quotes from Creation
Creators Their Orders and Pinhan’s Creation
There existed only an infinite void flowing within the fabric of time, and within the infinite void, time flowed gracefully...
Before the beginning of Time, there existed solely and perpetually the power of the Magus…
The Creators, after assimilating the power of the Magus, chose to encompass themselves within Time. For them, Time became relative. Thus, they merged with both timelessness and time itself, ascending to the pinnacle of their powers. As they became part of Time, their abilities grew even more potent and efficient.
After some time, they gradually departed from their hidden celestial realms, where the four magnificent thrones resided. They then proceeded to create a galaxy, along with the stars, planets, worlds, and moons within, and named it all "Pinhan." Through this act, they became even more empowered, transforming into beings of greater majesty.
The first step was taken by Zulnarox;
To encircle the created galaxy, Zulnarox constructed four distinct fortresses, and for each fortress Zulnarox crafted four towers. Then, out of love, the majestic Zulnarox bestowed a portion of its own essence to conceal Pinhan. In doing so, Pinhan would be hidden, and it and its siblings would remain safe together.
The second step was taken by Stainos;
Stainos created the planets, worlds, and moons within Pinhan. Then, it bestowed the stars upon its brother, Zulnarox. The almighty Stainos granted Innur-da permission to bestow its light upon the stars.
The last step was taken by Innur-da;
Innur-da bestowed pure light upon the stars for life and illumination. So that, living beings could thrive, and four fortresses encircling the galaxy could remain hidden behind the veil of light. Those fortresses would be unbeknownst to the creations. Then, beyond the fortresses, it severed the light that extended into the infinite void. Thus, Pinhan would stand between light and darkness, and the Creators would be even more secure alongside their creations.
Thus, the light of Innur-da and the darkness of Zulnarox were balanced in the presence of Stainos, giving rise to night and day.
The establishment of this balance would allow existence to take shape. First, the spirit would come, and then existence would unfold.
Time passed, and the Creators made their first decision. They would create two fundamental beings—one to be seeded and the other to sow the seed. The growth and awakening of the seed would take time, much like life and nature themselves. In this way, there would be both diversity and development, while also ensuring that this progression was kept under control.
As time passed, the Creators, in order to assist them, created their own Guardians (also known as Wardens or Envoys). This way, once the creation process was complete, all the beings that were brought into existence would be able to comprehend the words and desires of their Creators more easily.
The Creators bestowed upon their Guardians such an expression that any being who saw them would know who they were. They became known as if their names were written above their heads. And they said, "There will be no need for you to speak your names... As long as you exist, everyone will recognize you or your symbol!"
Time passed... Life took shape, beings began to evolve and reproduce. Thus, the new commands of each Guardian became known.
The first to descend were a few Guardians of Stainos. As a result, time and life began to be used efficiently, and development took on a visible form. The diversity of beings on planets increased, and differences started to emerge. The multitude of beings made the Creators even more powerful.
All beings capable of thought and development were called "humans" (Mortals). However, special names were bestowed upon each species to distinguish them from one another. And thus, both different languages and a universal language called "Duuru" emerged throughout the universe...
After a long time, Stainos relinquished control of its presence in Innur-da, withdrawing its own Guardians and retreating to rest. This further accelerated the development. Innur-da was very pleased with this and sent down its own Guardians to the worlds. Stainos, on the other hand, vanished without a trace, not disclosing its destination to its siblings, as it was not obliged to give any explanations.
Zulnarox had noticed Stainos' departure, but Innur-da, preoccupied with its own grandeur, was so absorbed that they hadn't even realized the significance of the absence. Zulnarox, on the other hand, admired Innur-da's ascent and began to feel forgotten despite all their accomplishments.
Time was passing, and life was taking shape. Stars and worlds were coming together in harmony. Especially humans, guided by the Guardians, were progressing and evolving. Everything under the control of Innur-da was developing at an astonishing pace, surpassing all expectations.
Zulnarox was consumed by jealousy. The majestic god was withering away because humans were expressing gratitude to Innur-da for the daylight and to Stainos for the blessings, but no one was expressing gratitude for the night. Yet, unbeknownst to them, one of the fundamental reasons they could live and be safe was because of Zulnarox.
They immersed themselves in dreams and fantasies, and even during their moments of rest, their creative abilities flourished. Their minds were nourished in this way, and upon awakening, they strived to bring these dreams to life and make them a reality.
Despite its intense anger, Zulnarox concealed its rage behind the walls of its fortresses. From afar, amidst the infinite darkness, it observed life, humanity, and the worlds. Its arrogance grew, its ambition intensified, yet it maintained its silence without ever breaking it.
Innur-da's Guardians began selecting special individuals on each planet, elevating and blessing them so that they would show interest in and care for the other humans. This further amplified Innur-da's influence. Some people dedicated themselves to Innur-da and sought refuge in its power.
After a while, some people began to feel dissatisfied with Innur-da. As for Zulnarox, it remained unfazed. The majestic Zulnarox was merely curious, wondering, "When will they turn their faces to the other half of reality?”
However, Zulnarox's expectations were not met, and those who distanced themselves from Innur-da turned not to him but to Stainos. After a while, Stainos responded to these calls and returned. The almighty one then asked its Guardians to bless and bestow power upon those who obeyed him. As a result, people continued to develop in a more prosperous, moderate, and balanced manner. Knowledge spread faster, equally, and in a more beneficial way.
Stainos's Guardians also began to select and bless rarer and more special individuals. Now, Stainos's chosen ones, just like Innur-da's chosen ones, started spreading their teachings.
As Zulnarox witnessed all of this, it sent its own Guardians to the worlds, hoping to transfer its divine power to humans as well. However, the outcome was not as it had expected. Almost none of the living humans paid any attention to its Guardians, unlike the others.
And finally, Zulnarox broke its silence. "I am the other face of existence. I cannot be ignored!" When this verse rose behind the Black Towers, it echoed through the stars and worlds, creating a thunderous roar as if doomsday had arrived. Zulnarox commanded its Guardians, saying, "Slay half of the chosen ones who do not believe in us and refuse to show gratitude, so that the others may take admonishment..."
Innur-da sensed the arrival of a command from the darkness, but couldn't discern its nature. Its passion for its own light and greatness was so immense that it had turned into fanaticism. It was as if nothing could exist beyond its control...
Except for Zulnarox's Guardians, none of the other Guardians could comprehend those syllables.
Due to the disregard for Zulnarox and its Guardians, not only humans but everything created and alive by the Creators were now engulfed in sorrow and fading away.
Now time had become a path on which all living beings were condemned to walk,
Grief and death had spread everywhere,
Dreams could now turn into nightmares.
Zulnarox's rule was so powerful that it had grown within him for a very long time, fueled by arrogance, anger, and ambition.
Stainos maintained its silence in the face of these decrees.
Innur-da, on the other hand, never compromised.
As the years went by, even the living beings and the chosen ones, despite carrying sacred powers, succumbed to death and vanishing. The souls of those who perished gradually gathered beneath the Magni Thronum, in Char-Tura.
After a while, those who were dissatisfied with Stainos and Innur-da began to turn to Zulnarox. The fruits of its rule had ripened, and they sought solace and guidance from him.
Zulnarox, delighted by this turn of events, commanded its Guardians to bless those who obeyed him and bestow upon them far greater power than others.
Now, there were three different sacred powers for humans:
Some were blessed by the Creators, some by their Guardian, and some were declared as envoys by the Guardians. The envoys of the Creators and the Guardians...
In rare places where these three sacred powers respected each other, shared temples were constructed, known as the 'Temples of the Three Towers.'
However, the factions that did not show mutual respect were in the majority, leading to conflicts based on beliefs.
Thronum-de Pugna!
After the creation of stars and worlds, the Creators, in order to help themselves, bestowed a portion of their essence to create their Guardians. Each Guardian was rewarded with particles of their master's power. This way, the people living in the created worlds could comprehend their words and desires much more effortlessly.
In the beginning, it was forbidden for the Guardians to do anything without their master's permission. They were solely fulfilling their commands because the created worlds and their inhabitants were very new. As time passed, the Guardians continued to spread the desires and teachings of the Creators. In fact, each Guardian was like a part of the other, because their masters at the top were like three siblings. Just like their masters, they were equally contrasting, separate, and unique within themselves. After all, all the Guardians were created from their masters' very own essence.
Over time, during the formation of the worlds, some Guardians began to question the tasks given to them by their masters, finding them flawed and even contradicting their very purpose of creation. Some were judging their masters within themselves, while others couldn't express themselves as they wished. Some didn't feel sufficiently free, while others couldn't even experience their desires in simplicity. In fact, some couldn't comprehend their masters' orders, while others felt excessively suppressed.
In Magni Thronum, love among the Guardians was also forbidden, and the punishment for it was severe. However, it was not prohibited for the Guardians to experience love on the planets and worlds they inhabited. According to the rules of Magni Thronum, if a child or children were born from this love, they could not exist for long periods or be brought to Magni Thronum. Having a child for the Guardians meant a great responsibility and, above all, a heavy price. In fact, even here, there was a teaching, but it was something that could only be understood once one became a parent.
Over time, many more disturbances like this continued to arise. However, none of them were sharing their experiences with anyone else. Time kept passing, worlds were evolving, and all beings were almost reaching their full formation. Civilizations were being established, and all the Guardians were fulfilling their duties in practice—but what about some of them? Did they truly feel spiritually aligned within themselves?
Finally, after Zulnarox's command of "admonish," grief and death began to affect all living beings. The Guardians, however, remained unaffected by Zulnarox's command because their essence derived from their Creators. Nevertheless, most of the things they had devoted their efforts to were fading away, and even dying. Even some of Zulnarox's Guardians regretted their actions because of this order.
Even though they were Guardians of different Creators, a form of communication began to emerge among them. They could now detect each other through this newfound connection. It was as if an unknown force had enabled them to establish this bond.
In a peculiar manner, these connections began to grow even stronger. They could now communicate with each other from the depths of their hearts. Eventually, they started gathering among themselves and sharing their experiences. However, these conversations soon led to minor disagreements. Those who opposed their masters' commands, the indecisive ones, and those who unquestioningly obeyed began to separate from one another. Naturally, all these events also brought forth conflicts and battles.
Soon enough, in the eternity of Magni Thronum, voices began to rise and echo. On one side, there were the obedient ones, on the other, the rebels, and those who stayed distant from it all...
Innur-da and Zulnarox desired to intervene in this battle, but they couldn't due to the judgment imposed by Stainos. Stainos awaited the impending event and the outbreak of war, as foreseen. This war had to happen! Stainos could see many things that his siblings couldn't, and even beyond that. The Almighty Stainos had known that events would unfold to this point, yet he had maintained his silence until the very end.

This war had to happen! Stainos could see many things that his siblings couldn't, and even beyond that. The Almighty Stainos had known that events would unfold to this point, yet he had maintained his silence until the very end.
Finally, in a fleeting moment of time, right in the heart of Magni Thronum, directly before the Thrones, rebels and obedient ones stood face to face as two zealous factions. And amidst them stood those who kept themselves apart from either side.
In the depths of profound silence, the noble Desalatus gazed into the eyes of Innur-da. Then, with unexpected swiftness, the noble one hurled his spear towards Auradus as the first move. It was a non-lethal and deliberate strike, for Auradus's battle cry held the power to spur others into action. A great war ensued, and ultimately, the rebellious Guardians were banished from the realm of their Creators. They fell from beyond the heavens and scattered to distant lands.
The events that unfolded during and after the war, as well as the subsequent judgments, remained a secret, shrouded in mystery.
The Obsidian Towers in the skies and Innur-da's First Tears
The esteemed leader of Magni Thronum, Stainos, issued its decree:
"These fortresses shall be sealed with the Blue Flame, and as long as the Blue Flame resides within these walls, I shall hold authority and judgment." Thus, the fortresses were sealed in this manner...
During the creation of Pinhan, Zulnarox crafted four distinct fortresses, each adorned with four towers. However, the majestic god left their interiors empty and returned to the process of Pinhan's creation. Later, Innur-da arrived and stationed its soldiers within the fortresses, but it withheld its light so that the soldiers remained unseen from the outside. Then, Innur-da severed the light extending beyond the fortresses and resumed its involvement in Pinhan's creation. Finally, Stainos arrived and, claiming its share from Innur-da, sealed the fortresses with the Blue Flame.
Time passed, and Pinhan began to take shape.
Time passed, and death came into existence with Zulnarox's "Lessons" syllables.
Time passed, and the Guardians fell.
Time passed, and in the created worlds, great battles erupted between light and darkness. However, the fall of "power and mercy" caused Innur-da to lose these wars in these worlds. And finally, Innur-da wept... Powerless and unable to show mercy to its champions. Because now, they were the soldiers of Zulnarox.
Innur-da's tears fell upon the towers and extinguished the Blue Flame, for it was the master of fire! With the extinguishing of the Blue Flame, Stainos' seal was broken, and the soldiers in Zulnarox's castles were set free. However, these soldiers no longer carried the qualities of Innur-da. They had been trapped in darkness and transformed by Zulnarox's admonishment syllables. For Zulnarox was the master of change and duality!
Thus, Zulnarox took command of the castles and armies. It became the master of the invincible armies in the heavens, and the walls of Pinhan grew even stronger.
However, there was something that both Zulnarox and Innur-da did not see or know. The Blue Flame had not completely extinguished; a tiny spark remained. And alongside it, a few fragments of Innur-da's tears were preserved.
The tears, filled with power and wisdom, were personally hidden by Stainos within the depths of Magni Thronum. They were to be used to bless a chosen warrior of Innur-da when the need arose. As for the final fragment of the Blue Flame, Stainos divided it into tiny specks and scattered them upon the lofty snowy mountains across the worlds. In this way, it would be released from Magni Thronum and now reside within the earthly realms.
Innur-da and Zulnarox, witnessing the descent of the Blue Flames, remained silent. For it was Stainos' decree, and they had no words to utter.

Quotes from Quadhan
Gladrus Forging The Quadhan
According to belief, after Quadhan was created, it resembled a spherical ember standing in the blacksmith's forge. It was tougher than steel but more transparent than glass. The first dragon Gladrus, the offspring of the Guardians Terra and Aldarus, came and, like a craftsman, began to forge Quadhan by breathing its flames upon it. Then, like a glass artisan, Gladrus breathed his sacred incantation-laden breath and began to work and shape it meticulously. He blessed every part of it with his prosperity and then scattered the seeds, which were a gift from Guardian Vita. That's why Quadhan was physically and spiritually very powerful.
It is unknown exactly when and where Gladrus was born, but after fulfilling his mission, he returned to his essence and ceased to exist. This was because it was the command of the Creators.
Before withdrawing his hand from the Haddad Continent and returning to his essence, Gladrus did one more thing. He added his own essence to the seeds that Vita had given him, and then he moved away from Quadhan. This way, the seeds were blessed, and a new process began for the birth of the Consagons.
The mission of the Consagons is to continue Gladrus's lineage through the Lower Beings and give birth to the defenders of balance. When a Consagon takes on a human silhouette and becomes intimate with a woman, the child born becomes a Dragonborn. The Consagon stays with the child for gyrus (years) to ensure they are safely born and raised, and then they disappear. That's why Dragonborns are the protectors of the world and the balance. According to this belief, Dragonborns and the dragons in nature originally come from the same lineage.
The truth known today;
The Dragonborn, bestowed with sacred powers by their ancestors, gradually discover and learn to harness these powers as they age. In the world, there are a maximum of six Dragonborn at any given time, and once they realize who they are, they instinctively set out to access the bestowed powers. If one of them departs or passes away, a seed is planted for the next one. Their blood is also highly valuable.
It is also believed that Gladrus left behind other secrets or powers. Dragons are considered as evidence of this.
Some names of Dragonborn from ancient times are known: Lord Virturian Dra'Nura, Liathra, Qynax, Dirapilus, Erina, and Thuash.
The Real Power of Dragons
In today's world, dragons and drake, in a way, also trace their lineage back to Gladrus. After all, Gladrus originated from Terra and Aldarus, the Guardians of Stainos, who were created by the Creators Pinhan, Innur-da, Stainos, and Zulnarox. When the time came, Gladrus returned to its essence, leaving behind some powers, secrets, and heirs upon Quadhan.
Due to these and similar connections, especially dragons have very high spiritual powers. Beyond their physical and mental strength, they place great importance on knowledge, history, and spiritual formations, truly drawing nourishment from them.
Many rumors or beliefs often attribute a strong desire for valuable items, especially gold or precious stones, to dragons and their sensitivity towards them. However, this is a misconception and is entirely derived from human tendencies towards materialism and extravagance.
The truth is that dragons primarily inhabit places rich in knowledge, history, and spiritual formations, especially around ancient structures. Ancient structures are distinct from many other buildings in terms of their lived history and energy. These structures are filled with memories of the past, built with great effort and often requiring numerous sacrifices to preserve them throughout the ages.
While not all, most abandoned ancient structures indeed have a long and equally profound history. Being in the vicinity of knowledge and lived experiences, magic and energy, ancient powers and legacies, and a unique harmony nurtures them. They feel more peaceful and tranquil in such environments. This is also a precaution to maintain balance because the interiors of ancient structures may be filled with secrets not meant for everyone. All of these factors make it possible to encounter a dragon in the vicinity of an ancient structure.
Of course, dragons value precious things, as these represent power and grandeur to them. However, their significance goes beyond what is commonly known.
It is possible to establish communication with a dragon as long as it desires it. Dragons, especially the likes of Duuru, are known to understand and speak many languages, and they have a unique voice. However, the same cannot be said for drakes of pure lineage. Drakes are more primal and fall into the category of animals. Dragons and drakes, like creation and destruction, represent both aspects of balance.
While dragons are incredibly powerful, they generally do not have an inherently aggressive nature. However, this doesn't mean they lack the power to cause destruction on a massive scale. Throughout history, there have been instances of dragons causing great devastation, but often the reasons behind such actions have remained a mystery, making it difficult to inquire about their motivations.
Nearly all of them are immune to magic. The effects of magic do not work on them. They also have immunity to many diseases. They typically breathe fire, and this ability is akin to very powerful ancient spells, believed to be a power originating from the early stages of creation.
They feed on fresh meat as their primary source of sustenance. They reproduce through mating, and the fertilized female lays eggs approximately 1 Gyrus later. Females that are carrying offspring in their womb or have recently laid eggs can exhibit protective and aggressive behavior.
Under normal circumstances, they typically live between 600 to 1000 Gyrus (years). Their life stages include the first 1 Gyrus as an egg, 9 Gyrus as a baby, the following 90 Gyrus as adolescence, 400 Gyrus as adulthood, and beyond that, they enter their mature age. When a dragon reaches the end of its life due to age, it sets out on an unknown journey at an unexpected time and disappears. Finding a lifeless body or skeletons of a dragon is an exceedingly rare occurrence.

Celia
According to legend, Guardian Mare bestowed a gift upon rare individuals living in Tera, primarily from the Tuuju race. These individuals are known as "Celia."
The duty of the Celias is to transmit the knowledge conveyed to them through various plants, minerals, and water in nature to those who seek their assistance. Celias do not possess direct clairvoyant abilities. To acquire the gift of sight, they must receive support from nature itself.
Celias can only manifest their abilities on individuals who seek their counsel and grant permission. While this bestowed ability is rare, it is known to exist in many major cities. However, the exact number of Celias is not known.
They are powerful interpreters. Having the gift of sight alone is not sufficient to reach the level of a Celia. Interpreting their visions is the most fundamental requirement to become a Celia.
Celias never conceal themselves. They use the gift bestowed upon them by Guardian Mare to assist people. They are not sorcerers or oracles. Their visions are not mental but tend to develop more through symbolic interpretations.
In Quadhan, what Celias do is referred to as the "Divination Ritual," where they perform their ability to foresee and interpret visions.
Celias are divided into three different classes. Each Celia begins interpreting their visions with brewed coffee in their first class. As their ability to see and interpret visions develops over time, they advance to the second class. In the second class, they use brewed ancestral leaves for divination. The final class is the highest, where they can interpret visions using pure water without the need for any specific plant.
Celias do not have a fixed fee or tariff. They receive payment based on the discretion of the person they are consulting with.
Interpreting visions with brewed coffee
It is obtained by grinding roasted coffee beans into a powder and boiling it with some water. After drinking the brewed coffee, the coffee grounds remain at the bottom of the cup. The person consulting with a Celia will drink the brewed coffee and then turn the cup upside down, allowing the remaining coffee grounds to cool. After some time, the cup is opened, and the shapes formed by the cooled grounds inside are interpreted by the Celia.
Vision interpretation with ancestor leaf
The unprocessed and previously dried Ata leaf plant is left to boil with some water. As the Ata leaf plant begins to boil, a small amount of Ventum powder is sprinkled, and it is immediately removed from the heat. When Ventum powder comes into contact with heat, it takes on a jelly-like consistency and starts to cover the surface of the Ata leaf rising to the water's surface. When the water cools down, the Ventum powder also solidifies and fixes the shape taken by the Ata leaf. In this way, the post-boiled state of the Ata leaf plant is sealed, and Celias interpret what is seen here.
Interpreting visions with clear water
High Celias, who do not require any specific plant or mineral, can interpret visions using cool, pure water without the need for boiling or heating. Since there are no specific shapes in the water, Celias at this level rely entirely on their senses and the energetic flow of the person in front of them to interpret their visions.
Oracles
The term for individuals who convey information with unclear sources or mysterious knowledge, or who transmit information given to them to others, is called an "Oracle."
The duty of oracles is to convey the information they receive to deserving individuals. Additionally, oracles often possess unique abilities of foresight and offer advice through their sayings. There is a significant difference between the information they receive and their own insights, and they have a keen sense of knowing whom to transmit which information to.
Sometimes, oracles may convey their knowledge verbally, and at other times, they may do so through visions or dreams. The identities of oracles are not known to everyone, as they prefer not to reveal themselves and only communicate with those who need to know.
Oracles are the ones who articulate prophecies. They can sometimes be present when certain prophecies come to pass. After everything has unfolded, they may reveal themselves in some way, only to disappear again shortly afterward.
Each oracle has at least one assistant, known as a "Mavura." The oracle and their Mavura are destined to come together in a fateful union.
There are 18 oracles living in the world. This number neither increases nor decreases. When an oracle departs from this world, a new oracle is born to take their place. Thus, the number is always maintained. It is believed that the presence or departure of oracles in this world is not a matter of chance. They are seen as guardians of destiny, constantly observing events.
Oracles harness the elements bestowed upon them.
Each element can be wielded by a maximum of three oracles. The distribution is arranged as follows: Fire - Water - Air - Nature - Light - Darkness, in a 3x6 pattern.
Oracles are not sorcerers and cannot command the elements. They merely draw power from the elements. However, in any case, they are bound to three Creators simultaneously.
A single oracle draws power only from the element bestowed upon them and can communicate with the other two oracles who draw power from the same element in this way. Communication with their Element is achieved through a simple ritual. The bestowed element remains constant and cannot be changed, and they cannot communicate with oracles drawing power from other elements.
Weeping River and The Dreamer
It is said that in the mountainous and rocky area at the southeastern tip of the desert, by a dried-up river, and further on, from a cliff that resembles a waterfall, the cries of a woman can be heard.
According to the beliefs of the desert people, a woman has had certain extrasensory or sensory abilities since a young age. She would see people whom others couldn't see in her dreams or nightmares.
It is said that this woman was the first Dreamer, and because of this, she had the ability to see what others couldn't see, hear what others couldn't hear, and imagine what others couldn't imagine. Due to her gift, she faced difficult times, and she was expelled from every settlement she went to, eventually ending up alone in the vast emptiness of the desert.
Left without a home and without anyone to turn to, the woman, exhausted and destitute, would follow the spirit of a man she saw in her dreams every night, leading her to a hilly area in the southeastern edge of the desert. In a place where the rocks formed a path-like cliff, she found herself up, while the spirit of the man was down below, and they began to speak.
The woman and the man had fallen in love with each other, but the woman was in a physical form, while the man existed in a spiritual form, and they could not be together. When both of them prayed to the Creators to be reunited, a river suddenly started flowing from beyond where the woman was located. It quickly grew more forceful and pushed the woman off the cliff.
As the woman fell, she was crying with both joy and fear, and a few seconds later, she collided with the rocks and died. It was through this sacrifice that she was finally able to be reunited with the man she loved.
It is said that women who lost their beloved spouses also come to this cliff and commit suicide, but to this day, no fallen bodies, belongings, or remaining skeletons have ever been seen.
With the death of the first Dreamer woman, the "Dream" ability was taken back from all humans by the Divine Beings, and it was only reintroduced to rare individuals after a very long time.
(It is believed that the Dreamers who are believed to exist today are individuals who only attain this ability after their death and choose to remain in purgatory for a while instead of ascending to Al Nare immediately to protect their loved ones. It is said that they can reach their loved ones through dreams or nightmares, warn them, and do not accept going to Al Nare until their loved ones find peace in their lives.
It is also believed that Dreamers have a connection with oracles and can somehow communicate with each other.
The region where the Crying River is located in the present day is also at the border of a terrifying area where the ruins of ancient desert structures, which have been reduced to rubble, are most densely seen. No one prefers to venture beyond this point.
