They lived in a magnificent town of marble and silver, that generations of artists had made splendid. The two brothers fell in love with the princess, so they tried to show her their prowess in order to gain her love. The elder became a brave warrior, the younger a skilful mage. Both declared their love, but the princess chose the elder. When the mage saw the happiness of the lovers, he swore to protect them and their love.Then the fiends came and claimed the land. The brothers fought to defend the city, while the princess led her people to safety. But in the middle of the battle, the warrior was poisoned, and the mage could nothing to help him. He swore to his dying brother to take care of the princess and her people. The army led by the mage managed to retreat, but the town of marble and silver was destroyed by the fiends. When the princess knew about the warrior's death, she decided to be strong, hoping to see him again after her own death, so she led her people in the lands of the East, where they could live in peace. But when the fiends sealed the gates of heaven, and her hope vanished, the pain was too much to bear, and she sought shelter into madness. The mage tried everything he could to make her smile again,  he even turned their new city into a reflex of their former town, but he could nothing to rescue her from her grief.So he cast a charm upon her, to make her sleep, quietly, till the doors of heaven will open again. He built a Chamber for her, a palace of marble and silver and swore to watch upon her, even after his death.So the city remained, home to all the people who lost too much, and wanted to live in a dream, pretending the fiends never came, pretending to be happy again.I thought that could exist a city like this, founded by the early refugees to Kessel, maybe deep in the forests, maybe by the Morrusshine lake, otherwise in a isle... What do you think about it?</blockquote>
