The next content of the book unfolded a tale that immediately caught Kaelen off guard—It was about the origin of the crack in the sky.
The text delved into a time long past when Eryndor existed in harmony with a series of mysterious, unnamed realms—worlds that lay beyond the known reaches of reality. These unknown realms, as the book described, were creations of forgotten gods, deities whose names and purposes had been lost to time. It was said that these gods had woven hidden links between Eryndor and each of these distant worlds, binding them together with:
'An astral gateway...'
According to the text, Eryndor and these unknown realms shared a profound, almost mystical connection, exchanging knowledge, vitality, and power across the planes. The Astral Gateway served as a bridge between the worlds, allowing them to thrive in unity. Together, they existed in a delicate balance, each realm subtly influencing the others through the cosmic energies that flowed between them.
