People of the world, rejoice!
Long have we known of a hidden salvation for a fate that has ever drawn closer, but ever has it been lost to us. We have searched through the flaming hells of
Xotlan, the apocalyptic wastes of the
Sunari Wilderness, the darkest depths of the ancient oceans, and beyond these to the surface of our remaining moon.
Yet we had never thought to look to the tip of our world when we stood upon it. From space, we could see the sprawl of an endless icy grasp. We were fools for ignoring it before.
It has taken countless years of struggle and suffering, and the cooperation of peoples from all nations, but we write this from our new foothold to the gates of the north, where we hope to hold out until word arrives from beyond. Ascirthe is not home to nothing but oblivion, as we have long, long believed. At its northernmost point, where the compass spins uncontrollably, an anomaly guards the very crown we have long sought.
Some of our group have peered in, and stared upon greatness. It is no mere crown that awaits us, but a slumbering sliver of power as great as that of the gods. To look upon it is to know tranquility of a kind utterly unknown to we mortals in the bounds of our home planet; one might need travel to the peace of
Nirvana for such bliss. So emotional is the experience that those who gazed upon it were soon broken to tears, overcome by the love and weight this glimmer of true hope holds.
We call each and every nation here now, for we cannot ignore this gift, nor let it fall into reckless hands. We share this information to all so that it may not be taken by one group; to attempt to seize control of it may see it lost to us. Send forth those prepared to weather the depths of a winter more bitter than any imagined, and let us guard what may be needed to shield our world.
For if it has appeared to us only now, here, in this place of bleak death - perhaps it shall soon be needed. We are not divinity-sent; it is not we who must use it.
Thus it falls to us to shield it for those who will need it most.
Signed,
the Members of the
Pelgrehin Expedition
