It hadn't always been this way. Some force—deliberate and ancient—had crafted the island's isolation.
The island's silence wasn't simply the absence of sound. It was a barrier—immense, intentional, and unbreakable. No one could disturb that stillness without consequence.
Only one kind of people dwelled on this island: the Priests of Silence.
Except for the Radiant Holy Kingdom's highest authorities, no one even knew of their existence. They were called the Priests of Silence for a simple reason: they had sworn never to speak of the island to anyone, and to spend their entire lives within its bounds.
Their vow went beyond a mere promise. It was a binding contract etched into their very souls—made with Radiance itself.
Only those who had pledged such silence, and the Holy Sea Knights who had given their souls to Radiance, were permitted to live here.
