Aurora:CRYPT
CRYPT was a poem/written book written by the player 8set in October of 2025 which detailed, through abstract concepts and metaphors, how she viewed her legacy on Aurora in regards to her town "Dawnstar" (Capital of North Alaska). The book was put on display within a lectern placed on a vertical column positioned in the middle of Dawnstar's artificial waterway.
The poem, in its entirety:
---
A lonesome CRYPT, I enter.
Our world will never be the same.
A push forth into the great eternity,
where nothing that stayed remains.
A weary TRAVELLER, I greet.
We never meet again.
A walk to the farthest edge,
no memory of a friend.
A sharp BLADE I sheath.
A waning thought appears,
A place I once feared.
My blade grows dull.
A worn HOME, I enter.
My BLADE now sits.
Anew, a TRAVELLER
Seen entering the CRYPT
A TRAVELLER, now sunk so low,
watching as the old life flows;
what once arose from the sands,
falls again, into its hands
My BLADE I sheath,
A new forged path.
A life it takes,
And returns to ash
What once was true,
all that we know
shall find its way
back in the snow.
At1 what of my HOME?
Such a place to be.
Will it feel the same,
without me?
However it is,
one thing is yet true,
I hope that sincere enjoyment,
is what it will bring you.
Dedicated to the future explorers of Dawnstar, post-reset.
