East of Disarcania, beyond the plains of the Earthtrees, lies the Tirona wall.
It is a wall that was constructed long ago, and ended a war that nearly resulted in the destruction of the mortal peoples of the realms. It spans the length of the entire island-continent, and reaches so high, not even the most powerful ship can scale it.
Beyond the wall, lies only sand, and the enigmatic glowglubs. But not everything is what it seems.
Within the sand, lies an entity, older than the realms itself. A creature simply known as Omni. It constantly watches, waiting for the chance to accomplish its mission. It is the creator of the Deita, the Tirona, and some Arcana scholars even speculate the Infernals (Probably due to a translation error, and to the remarkable similarities between the old Infernal War legends and the Arcanian mythology.)
As to the relation between Omni and the strange Manipulators, (Sometimes known as the Eyeless in the western regions, Travelers in the east), it is anyone's guess. They certainly aren't talking.
Well, perhaps they are. But it doesn't really make sense:
" Two were shown light. For the rest, in-between. Last only saw what he sees. Darkness for the All-seer! Death to the lands that come and go! For his eyes were once shut forever. It is only through sand that the last of the blind could see."
-Book of Gata 1:39
