In the far eastern reaches of the magic continent lies a mysterious sea known as the "Eternazure Abyss." Here, there are no raging storms, only eternal, liquid-sapphire-like tides. The seabed holds no darkness, but is instead carpeted with luminous lunar-glow corals. They pulse with the tides as if breathing to the cadence of the stars.
In the oldest fishermen's legends, on a tide-turned night moon-drenched, an iridescent pearl-like radiance suddenly erupted from the deepest darkness of the abyss. Following the light, the fishermen dove down to discover a colossal, luminous-white clamshell, naturally etched with phases of the moon, resting silently upon a trench altar. As the clamshell slowly opened under the full moon's pull, its interior revealed not a pearl, but a silver-haired maiden curled in slumber, enveloped in gentle tidal energies. — She was Astra.
