The first destination on the divine quest is the cliff-terrace overlooking a majestic valley; in the crease of the mountains lies the palace, long abandoned, but not forgotten by the few that remain here. Elders told of the light cast on the cliff by the binary stars, but few ever actually knew of the beauty perceived while basking in the Castle View. None alive could imagine the combination of strange colors reflecting from the broken bricks of the turrets, or of the odd noise made by the still waters laying unmoving in the moat of the Old King’s domicile.
