Chapitre 1880: The Mandate

"Tell me all you know," Emery asked.

The high elf introduced himself as Nievan from the Eldamar clan, one of the most prestigious and ancient high elves. An introduction was considered a sign of respect for these people.

Nievan then began to explain that the current expedition was particularly special, as the high elves had come with great preparations. It was a mandate that had persisted for over 10,000 years, passed down through generations, even before the fall of the celestials and their complete extinction 3,000 years ago.

Their crucial task was to ensure the celestial constructs, the ancient machines, continued to function optimally. This year's expedition was a significant part of fulfilling that mandate, with their aim set on reaching the mysterious eighth layer of the expedition.

This secret had been carefully guarded by the Eldamar clan of high elves, a creed handed down by a select few to ensure that no race could dominate the celestial powers.
