Welcome to Eteliria, the Kingdom above the floating clouds.
Let us push open the Gateway, pick up our staffs, and the adventure will begin from here—
Through the hills of clouds and seas, like floating grass, the shallow rivers gleam;
Across the meadows flowing with gold and honey, filled with laughter, beneath Rodell's cottages, a gentle song drifts.
Through Egon's ancient forests, where dark vines grow rampant and whispers linger;
Over ridges and between Chongshan peaks, shadows stir in the Underground World, danger lurks at every turn, and swords reflect light.
The tale of a boy chasing his dreams, above the sky and cloud ridges, the Giant Dragon's Shadow, soaring with outstretched wings.
And after time has been sealed away, the hearth fire still burns bright.

The party moved through the darkness of the Deep Gorge; after leaving the ash‑gray, withered Forest, they did not set foot on the broad road opened by the South Noggnis Guild, but instead took another path—following the miners' memories upstream, plunging all the way into deeper layers of the underground. Their pitch‑pine torches could only light up a small patch of murky gray in the gloom. Tianlan said the glow of the Illumination Crystals felt as if it froze straight into the marrow, making her teeth chatter, and the others more or less felt the same. So they uncharacteristically chose open flame for light, as if only that could slightly disperse the sinister chill.
