There's this thing about the great Vexille, he, how can I say it, he was naive. Very naive. He always had good intentions, but wouldn't plan how to achieve his goals very well. But he achieved them anyways. Once, twice, several times. And he got to a point where he had accomplished powerful feats, defeating the nefilim and much more. And he saw the archipelago which the nefilims had consumed and dismantled, and decided to fix it. Once again, good intentions mixed with a certain lack of notion about the challenge ahead. But this time, he was one of the most powerful people in the world, capable of fulfilling his greatest ambitions. And while Lucian and the others wanted to conquer more and more, he wanted to restored what was bad.
And, once again, Vexille, unknowingly, healed a potentially catastrophic wound in the planet itself. He found out that the nefilims wanted to eat the ley lines among people, and through the breach they left, Vexille managed to access it, to see how that could facilitate future invasions. And simply thought that, if the problem was the lack of relationships, it sufficed to bring people. Immigrants sustained by his raw power, fixing the rips on reality simply by meeting one another, having fights and passions. Mages sporting scars, merchants interested exploring this "ley web" to sustain a resourceless nation and priests marked by the horrors of the invasion. They made a city, turned the ephemeral breach left by the nefilims into a magic network of communication and transport throughout Ghara. Became intermediates of merchandises, individuals, ideas and values. Created power plants where the sea water is divided into pure salt, water and magic, sustained their people, and founded the most magically charged region of Ghara, Abalm.
They codified what Vexille learned into the sacrophysics, and through it created sacral computers, the gaseous race welkiin, fought against Orlem. Nowadays they eliminate nefilim infestations and study how to manufacture dreams. This network was called "ley web", what flows through it "prana", and found out that in the depths of the world, liking your neighbor changes reality. That every soul and every feeling is filtered inside the Sun, the leftover mana taken and widespread through the Moon, and that the divine high levels of Creation are as alive and dynamic as the ocean. I'm sorry, I'm being foolish: it's the ocean that's a poor facsimile of life and dynamics of Creation.

Imagine all that, all because someone went through the horror and thought it should be better. I, I, I... Sorry, I'm a little excited, it's that, you know? I remember he saying once for someone complaining how the world wasn't fair. Vexille answered: It certainly isn't. And that is why the people must be.
Abalm is the culmination of that. Among so many chances of things going wrong, in a single instance, they went right, many and many times. Perhaps, after suffering the worst, nefilims and plagues and Neftul, Ghara reacted and did its best, I don't know. What I do know is that we arrived. I hope you enjoy your stay, the mage here is an expert in creating therapeutic curses.
