# Saga of Ascension (Barrow King's Version) _Special thanks to [[Ghaz]] for the transcription from **[Sagas and Solace](Sagas%20and%20Solace.md) S2E5**_ **This saga has been seen elsewhere, but [The Barrow King](The%20Barrow%20King.md) we recite here possesses the original recording of the events, minimally shrouded from the truth.** # >*The Saga of Ascension depicts the following: That the seven split themselves within seven cities. The city of Sapphira, gleaming with sapphires and using the hordes of the demons left behind and what treasures that they had thought to invest it among his people. Indeed, through shrewd mercantile movements was able to build one of the finest cities of trade and import that one could hope for. Even opening a line to the abyssal ocean to challenge the denizens therein with brave sailors and braver merchants. And so, the City of Sapphires was birthed by the Bearer of Blue Light.* > >*Far to the west in Cathair Na Gloin, a wizard practiced in the arcane arts had learned much in his battle against demon kind and there decided that he would discover more ways to strengthen the world. It is said that after forging the City of Glass by his own hands, he retreated to an island far to the northwest where mana pours freely for the west to use. So it is said, the Bearer of the Green Light.* > >*Facing an unknown threat, the bearer of the Indigo Light moved northwest as well but settled within the razor sharp cliffs where an innocuous tower threatening the entirety of the area was encompassed and challenged. It is unknown what had become of the Bearer of the Indigo Light for the strange and powerful magic that emanated from the Wayward Tower is unknown to this day.* > >*Deep within the mountains of the north, the City of Mournhowl was built up. Built up on the ruins of a dwarven city by ancient kin and kith and agreed by the two races. It was here that the Bearer of the Red Light built a city that would honor those that came before for his heart was heavy for those that were lost and to this day, he and his kin are still buried beneath the stone.* > >*To the center isle of the Weeping Lake, a grand city known as Isola was built and the shrewd Bearer of the Yellow Light sought to put their light to proper use, but they were suspicious and paranoid and knew what such power might lead to others. So, to ensure that none of her progeny nor kin could never misuse the light therein, formed a league of assassins to keep a dark watch where all the lights go out.* > >*Then, in the center, in the very breadth of the Demon Wastes, a black hand was formed and there a city was built atop it. A city known as Zairacost. It was there that the Bearer of the Orange Light waited. Waited to face the demons from the very wastes that they might rid themselves from. It was there the ambition to make sure that all that darkness may stay forever silenced. So waited the Bearer of the Orange Light.* > >*Far to the east, the city of Aldafife was built. In the swamps and those therein were shown an easy life of good trade, good food, and good fortunes. But it was abandoned. It was abandoned for the Bearer of the Violet Light could not let such things to be. And indeed, knew the truth that the demons would returns for as long as their way light. As long as there was magic they would pour into this realm. It was then that the Bearer forged a plan. A traitorous but effective plan. To ensure the safety of all, some would be sacrificed. And so, her mind set, conviction in her heart, Mytheria set out to save the world a second time. And so she did, piece by piece the lands fell to the might of Mytheria’s Church. And so, piece by piece the continent was brought under the yoke of the light and the demons were defeated, and the people knew peace. Yet, they also knew nothing else. And so, the Pale City was built.*
