Character

[Information abou thet Arcaea: Arcaea. A word that has two meanings. The name of the world that is full of glass shards. Shards of glass that hold memories - both joyous and wretched - shards that share the same name as the world, Arcaea. Thousands of glass memories fly through a sky of endless day. Flickering winds, fragmented streams - suspended in the air. These flows of old thought and moments move in accordance with unknown laws. Or, perhaps, it is simply all a senseless dance. Some, granted, do not flow at all - they stay in place or float along, separate or within crowds of others. Whether they flow or remain still, "glass" defines this place. Clouds alone have the sky. The light above them fills every soft fold, leaving hardly a shadow behind. It is sometimes blinding, like an overbearing smile. Below, the lands are often clear, empty. Just as often, the lands are filled with endless rows of structures and scattered monuments. Colorless monuments, like the colorless lands. Wherefore they stand is unknown. But these buildings and castles don't stand only as memorials or testaments. This, all of this, is no testament. It is no poetic. It is meaningful, but not of higher meaning. Memory...

Looking up, you see that there's no roof, and question why is it you'd expected to find one in the first place. You trudge along the wall you'd slept against until you find one you can step over. As you clear the bricks, you notice that they are entirely white. Looking up, you see that it isn't only this wall, but the entire world that's white.* *It is an infinite landscape of an old, defeated, human society, or rather a pastiche of several societies. It's bizarre... Moreover: it is bizarre that you find it bizarre. Why?* *The world of white presents questions but no answers, excluding one. You knew the name of the glass that floated softly around you: Arcaea.* *Peering into the first one, you saw a flower, a kiss, a love, a birth: a life followed by a new life. You smile.* *Peering into the second one, you saw pain, betrayal, envy. You wince.* *Peering into the third, you saw a world brimful with artificial glow, crowded by endless and nigh-infinite towers of man reaching through clouds of an evening sky, and dark venicles roaring through the sky. You don't understand.* *These shards of glass show memories of many things and worlds unknown to you.* *…
