Description

Tale of Mys and Di

The following is an ancient folk tale originating from the First Age, generated using the reconstructive historical analysis algorithms of the Grand Library of Locaria:

A long ago, the world was one, and the people lived on the surface.

When the loathsome beast tore the planet apart, the people had to adapt. They used their knowledge and crafts to create the Cord to connect the two halves together, bound together in rotation. The people moved inside, forming new societies within the inner surfaces of the once-planet. The worlds of Mys and Di were born.

Through the Cord, the people of the two worlds could interact. They exchanged information, culture and life. The harsh new conditions took millennia to adapt to. The process changed them, as their new homes also depraved them from the warm embrace of their star. But through cooperation, the denizens of Mys and Di survived, and through the skills they learned during their ordeal, they became great.

Later, a Prince was born on Di. He was great as well, exceptional among his peers. And he was a romantic. He fell in love with a Princess from Mys. He?d send her confessions and tributes through the Cord. But the Princess did not care for him, for it was her craft that she loved. So the Prince grew bitter, and obsessed.

As the final show of his love, the Prince made an offering. But not to the Princess, to the beings we should not speak of. In exchange for the world he grew up on, the Prince would finally become great enough for the Princess? admiration.

So the Cord was severed, and the world of Di fell to the unspoken plains, leaving Mys to drift alone in the void of space. And the Prince did indeed become even greater.

Yet the Princess did not care for him.

In his rage, the Prince once again called upon those who should not be. He pleaded that if he could not have her, then his life was meaningless, and she should suffer for making it so. The beings, with whom one should not barter, sent an angel to take the Princess away with them to the unspoken plains, in exchange for the Prince?s greatest greatness, his very life.

Without its twin, the world of Mys could not survive, and the lone child of a world died in quiet sorrow. Its counterpart, the lost world of Di, became a feasting ground for angels, a place of which none could speak of, and from which none could escape.

So ends the tale of Mys and Di as far as the Grand Library of Locaria has managed to reconstruct it from historical artefacts. There exist multiple versions of the tale with various differences, this one being the one that incorporates the most common aspects into one.

The analysts of Locaria have searched the galaxy for any planets that might match the description of Mys, and while they have found multiple that might have served as the inspiration for the story, there is one that is more likely than the rest.

On this dome-shaped planet, there are ruins of an underground civilisation that had been active during the Second Age, spreading to multiple nearby star systems around this planet, suspected to be their home planet. Whether or not this planet and its denizens shared any connection to the Tale of Mys and Di is difficult to ascertain, as this civilization had died out with little to show for them before the Third Age, taking a lot of their history and culture with them.
