Lore[edit]

The scattered entries cover the tragic love story of Yuhwa and Dalnim, two Canthan women that died during the Zhaitan Disaster. Belonging to rival factions, their relationship would have never been approved by the other members, leaving them with the only option to flee. The story progressively unravels through excerpts from personal diaries and other correspondence involving the two lovers: these include pages from Yuhwa's Diary, Dalnim's Field Notes, orders to Dalnim from the Am Fah and a public announcement issued by the Celestial Ministry.

Biography[edit]

The episode most likely took place in 1219 AE, sometime before the Rising of Orr, which caused the old city of Kaineng to sink, taking the lives of many along: Yuhwa and Dalnim were among these. However, the tragic nature of their story lies in deeper implications, as Dalnim belonged to the Am Fah, while Yuhwa was Jade Brotherhood "royalty", two rival criminal organizations. Dalnim was instructed by one of her superiors, Mina, to collect intel on Yuhwa's flower shop, which the Am Fah believed to be a cover-business the Jade Brotherhood used to spy on them. Not noticing any suspicious activity, Dalnim decided to interact with Yuhwa personally and thus the two started seeing each other regularly and developing mutual feelings. The tides turned, however, when Mina ordered Dalnim to dispose of Yuhwa, in an attempt to wreak havoc among the Jade Brotherhood. Dalnim confessed everything to her lover and the two started planning their escape, determined to leave their affiliations behind. Dalnim lied to Mina about killing Yuhwa to buy additional time, while preparations were undergoing. In the meantime, the lovers found shelter in an abandoned vault and would have shortly set sail to see the world, but Zhaitan awoke, bringing an abrupt end to their dreams.
