XIII

Once your fall, stay close to the sanctuaries. Whithin them, small pockets of life still flourish in an otherwise barren gardens. Beyond their spheres of influences, you will find an endless sea of decay, ruled by shadows and death.

The first of these sanctuaries is the Great City. Though it is no longer a metropolis, a jungle blooms in this place, and you may find a modicum of shelter whitin its clumbling walls.

The others will be more familiar to you, if only for the towers you will find at their center. Those are the source of their power - the Obelisks. They are not quite the same as the ones you are familiar with, not quite as advanced, but that's to be expected. They're an older model. Precursors, or more apty: prototypes.

XIV

Cause and effect is the way of the universe. Everything must start somewhere. In case of the system, this is when it was born. You will fall right into its candle.

Together, the sanctuaries and the Obelisks, that power them are the ancestor of the island that floats in the sky, they can all can trace their origins back to this single prototype. Though it is flightless, the lore principles and technology behind it are the game.

In a way, that makes it your ancestors too. You were born within the system, after all, if your design is somewhat altered. In a way, you are all the children. One could you say that when you fall, it will be something of homecoming. In more ways than one.

XV

And so everything will end where it began. The planet, the system, your species and ever, bit of life that inhabits this tiny corner of universe. All of it.

Than perhaps something of one species can come at the expense of another. As ecosystems change, those that adapt more effectively can push those weaker than themselves to Extinction. Humanity once did this to the Neanderthals, and how it is finally your turn. At last, face to face from a superior threat, you and all your skin must answer that timeless question.

                   Will you survive?
