Well, there’s the city of Noora, deep in the Great Desert…
But there’s also the ancient civilization, also called Noora.
These must be related, no?
Why else would they have the same name?
> We don’t know…
You wouldn’t happen to know anything about the Soluna Tower?
Exactly why is it so important to the King, again?

Oh, Rex, speaking of the Pontiff…
Does he guide our Faith from Cathedral, or the Palace?
