When your strength is spent and your life is fading, what will you leave to those who come after you? When your pen is about to touch the page as you write your final words, what will you add after all those thousands of words? When the civilization you belong to is about to enter its grave, what will you tell the civilizations that come after it?
The body's decay marks its demise in the material world, its disappearance from the four-dimensional world. Yet a holy and noble soul can transcend the cause and effect of time and space, entering the true graveyard of civilization: the Spirit Domain.

The Believers: They believe that the "instance" of a civilization's extinction has no true ending. Just as dynasties rise and fall, no matter how we sum up the civilizations before us, they cannot escape destruction. Yet civilization progresses, so history is not meaningless. The Believers are devoted to uncovering the stories of earlier civilizations.
