Last verbal notification received from the Allian cargo ship: Ocean Wanderer. Intercepted near South Western Arika.

In the Alchan mountain, south of Doschia, east of Rancais, north of Rilia, in the centre of Epa, was an ancient palace, Aldanstein. It had stood there for a few centuries, with all the traces of modern castle building techniques. Round towers, pointed roofs, walls covered in glass windows. It was a product of Pantheon Peace, a palace built for comfort rather than a fortress built for war. The gatehouse had no gate, the walls had no crenelations, there was no moat. It had a winding road, almost as if a giant had drawn a dark line on the white canvas of Alchan snows, and a heliport.
