The nights are long and arduous on Illen. The desert, its undulating mountains and valleys of dull orange sand, muted by the subtle glow of blue light reflected from Ilyr, looming overhead, is no place to venture into, alone.
Somewhat exposed are the remains of the old; the time before. Monuments to a time long past, made from concrete, steel and shattered glass reflecting glimmers of whatever light catches them.

"I've been out there, Mum... I am sorry, I know I shouldn't have. But I found this... Shard of metal, it speaks to me. It tells me things about our world. The vast forests, architecture..."
