[Green The Land of Aincrad ]
Will changed further down
The land of Aincrad is a mysterious place that all of the [Lost ]Knights guarding the frontier belong to.
It's unknown if Aincrad was a world, a continent, or a vast kingdom, as all information of this place comes only from the Knights and has on more than one occasion one knight's words will contradict another's.
Unlike the world Known as Earth where all of the Knights agree that they come from, Aincrad is either regarded with either dread- hate, or indifference depending on who one speaks to.
There are some scholars and mages that believe that Aincrad and Earth are one and the same, while others believe that both lands are our world but in the distant past.
The reason for the later belief that has begun to gain ground is for the following reasons that support all three beliefs.
The reasons are as follows, it's known that before the great catastrophe all araces had aces to magic and magical equipment, meaning that regardless of who the person was they could use magic and use anything endowed with it.
The knights have shown that unless it's something like casting a spell or using an item that requires a magician to use, the knights can make the items work as if they were still in mint condition.
For example normally if an adventurer discovers a magic necklace, they would need a mage to study the necklace and see what magic was cast on to it.
The knights regardless of whom it may be will automatically know what spell the necklace has and will be able to use it the moment they make contact with the necklace.
This is important because according to the stories told by the Knights Aincrad had entire cities that with a single touch a person would make lights that hardly gave any heat light up a dark space.
The land of Aincrad was said to fly in the sky and if one looked outside they could see the world tree.
Within Aincrad were various towers- dungeons- tunnels- forests rivers and mountains, which makes little sense if it was a place that hung in the sky.
Yet the Knight's access to certain artifacts that by all rights shouldn't exist lends credence to the belief that the Knights might be from our past.
One example is the Monolith of souls, it's unknown as to who or what created the monolith but what is known about it, is that the knights used it to revive everyone that died during what they call the Death Game.
[ Whatever the Death Game was, is unknown, but due to how the numbers of knights that were suddenly were walking around near the edge of the Fortress that the knights call home, it can only be theorized that it was something truly horrifying. ]
It should be noted that the Monolith of Souls is also known by another name, one kept secret to most of the world, the Great Stone of Revival.
It is unknown if the stone can bring anyone back from the dead, but judging how it wasn't destroyed after the knights used it, means that it still has more than enough power to be used again.
According to representatives of the guild that is located near the knight's fortress, the knights have several items that both equal and surpass the power of the monolith and are kept in something called the Vault.
The belief that Aincrad was a place, is both the first-hand accounts of both adventurers and the various inhabitants of the frontier that reported seeing a castle fall from the sky.
Yet if such a thing did happen the impact it would have left should have changed the immediate area, yet no traces of it have been found.
However, if the castle was created, and kept in the sky by magical means, would mean that if whatever power dispersed before it touched the ground, then no such traces of the castle would be left behind, except for the living inhabitants of the castle.
We need to investigate more about Aincra and how to gain aces to its secrets
