## Summary

This record of Syca's titled "At the Fragmented Ivory Tower's End",
was recorded after some ancient trial had just concluded.
Abundant grains doth fill our warehouses to the rafters,
and fragrant wines doth fill the night air with their aroma.
This all be thanks to the merciful Agris,
who's blessing doth give us such bountiful harvests.
The sweet nectar of life doth be eternal,

so why doth thou shun Agris' mercy,
and frighten the good people with thine clouded gaze?
...Doom.
The comet which orbited the North Star.
The countless, blood-red eyes glinting from within.
Did I not tell of the coming star of destruction?
For in three days,
they shall turn these fertile lands into ash.
How can I look away from the coming destruction?

Poor Syca... The outside world Rux taught 
the lad of in Atoraxxion,
was quite different to the one he must have
experienced for himself.

### Step 2

- **Objective**: At the Fragmented Ivory Tower's End: Sinner

- **Summary**: Stop... What did thou sayeth? They be the words of that...
charlatan that doth reside atop the Ivory Tower!
Raving madly of dark creatures and even darker times to come...
Verily, they doth be his words
The words of the Ivory Tower Lunatic!
Thou... Who art thou?
It was the first time he'd ever heard anyone refute the end times...
I can only imagine the shock Syca must have felt.
There's even records of the Ancients trying to 
imprison Syca for his sedition.
Ironically in the very same cell his master Rux had been imprisoned in.
And was the first to escape from.

- **Summary**: Carthuo Fenhaus Atoraxxion.
At the end of despair, hope shall bloom.
I am of Atoraxxion, the stronghold that shall repel the Dark Invaders 
and prevent the end days they would wrought.
I am the architect of Atoraxxion: Sycrakea.
I am also the disciple of Rux Maha Dehkia.
Rux... that crazed madman.
Did he raise disciples simply to enact his vengeance upon the world?!
Look to me, o disciple of Rux.
Thine eyes doth lack the glowing lunacy of the false prophet.
We believe not that the end times approach,
despite the sonority of Rux's prophesies.
So tell us, young one. Why doth thou wonder aimlessly?
And this "Atoraxxion" thou speaketh of. 'Tis a stronghold?
