This is a world of misty mountains and cerulean seas, of immortal Celestians and fallen mortals. Delve deeper, and you might even encounter the occasional demon, seeking to overstep the boundaries of their shadowed realm. So, turn the page. Brush your fingers across these ink-stained tales of love and loss, ambition and sacrifice; lose yourself in the bright weaves of a forgotten land's song.
