Many new fans ask about Fragments of the Past, what is exactly, how it was conceived, and why I decided to create it. Here is a small 🧵about the birth of the world transfixed by the light of a fierce sun and cradled by twin verdant moons.

In Syrmeos Isle, Auleo raised a temple preserving Etoi's geographic and celestial wisdom. Thus, he became Grammatopinax, the Cartographer, and the island embraced his name: Aulea, the Golden.
