Aidonia — the snow-dusted kingdom of death — once stood tall amidst the blizzards, and now remains silent beneath them.

Almost all humankind enjoyed the pleasures of eternal life in the spring-filled lands in the endless Era Chrysea, yet a few souls grew weary of the countless cycles of day and night and decided to seek the end of life. "Why does life exist? And where should it go?" Eleusis, the leader of the Ascetics, advanced north with his followers as he muttered this eternal question, seeking a sweet and frozen long dream. The robed ascetics settled in the desolate northern wasteland, building a solemn city-state where snow fell relentlessly all year round — A place later known as "Aidonia."

How the Era Chrysea ended had long been lost to the annals of history, but the "First Dead" in Amphoreus was said to have come from Aidonia. That person received the gift of death from the Death Titan Thanatos — both a merciful blessing and the highest of honors.

The people of Aidonia were long accustomed to the harsh and lethal cold. The snow itself, long steeped in the silent faith of the Death Titan Thanatos also greedily absorbed the warmth of life as it soon touched the earth. Long ago, travelers entering Aidonia's demesne would often find anonymous frozen bodies lying dead by the roadside, unfortunates who had returned to the embrace of the Death Titan Hand of Shadow. The north wind howled, and the dead became markers on the road, guiding and warning those who journeyed through the snow. Travelers always hurried through Aidonia while the breath of life remained within them.

In time, the Aidonians came upon gravestones of mourning standing tall in the barren land, realizing that someone was offering their blessings to the cycle of death and the passing of life.

Beneath the gravestone slumbers an unknown girl. A zone of death surrounds her like a shadowy shroud, and even the skeletarasses that inhaled the breath of death withered away around her form. The Aidonians sensed the merciful touch of the Death TitanThanatos on her and welcomed her back to the city as their Holy Maiden. The faithful followers of the Death Titan, in reverence, emulated her, erecting towering gravestones in the wastelands to mark the end of long journeys and life's return to death — For life and death are both journeys, and this land only maintains boundary stones that recorded the paths taken.

The gravestones were warning distant travelers that no one stayed there and no one rested there... The dead, too, are travelers. They are the north wind, the falling snow, and the countless threads that connect them.

Thalesus, "The First Scholar," embarked on his journey around Amphoreus from his coastal home city, Mileutus, at his age of majority, seeking spiritual meaning within the Mnestia faith.

Along the way, his strange experiences and new visions reshaped his thoughts on nature and the origin of the world. At the journey's end, he met the "Bough of Rift" and completed his philosophical methods to experience the world before the great tree. Under the giant tree, Thalesus established a courtyard and named it the Grove of Epiphany, a place for people to awaken their spirits, seek wisdom, and grasp the way.

The thoughts of the Reason Titan Cerces became so enhanced that they became written scrolls or quietly turned into the whispering flora of the grove... The noise of the Grove was born from there. From these debates and intellectual exchanges, new schools of thought emerged.

Although differentiated from one another, the schools were interwoven — much like the overlaying branches of the giant tree... Through centuries of argument and scholarly heritage, The First Scholar's insights have evolved into the Seven Sages and seven primary schools of thought, as well as many different viewpoints.

"All knowledge of the world should become the leaves of the Grove, to shield the sun and help the giant tree flourish." Every city-state seeking wisdom from the Grove must offer equal knowledge in return. Thus, countless ideas are nourished, and countless new leaves sprout.

For centuries, should any scrolls containing knowledge be found on trade caravans passing through the Grove's narrow passage or ships arriving at the port, they would become a part of the Grove's library regardless of the scroll's nationality or language. The scholars, or rather, "bandits," transformed the Grove into Amphoreus' best school by ways of spending incomprehensible amounts of wealth on knowledge, hiring copywriters to steal knowledge, or even outright robbery of knowledge. The scholars of the Grove used questions as sacrificial vassals and thoughts as reverence, and bowed their heads at the supreme reason in this world.

Beginning with the planting of life, returning to the spirit of the wood, the Grove collects all knowledge that flows to it from the world. The Reason Titan Cerces listened to the growing noise of the Grove, and never spoke.
