Mysterious Voice: The body of Princess Phaedra Philemon was recovered near the western seawall earlier this afternoon. Our two-month search has led to the greatest tragedy: our beloved Manta Princess is dead — she was only nineteen. And like her father before her, her cause of death is all too clear — assassination.

An enormous shrine, lit by blue flames, walls covered in glowing lotus designs. Moss hangs off the trellis ceiling - beyond the roof, a canopy of stars. Tall glass windows bear the same celestial designs as the patterns on the Aquifer walls. Grassy lotus ponds rest in the ground, glittering in the firelight. Palm trees and column braziers line the way toward a massive statue of a four-winged bird - a phoenix, with the crowned feathers of a jay and the broad tail of a peacock. A large nook with a fireplace below is dwarfed by the statue - it glows the same blue as the rest of the fire in the shrine. Before it, on a throne dais, a shadowed figure sits.
