Semantics aside , though. I am plenty curious on the developments happening to the ruins of my old kingdom , and I do believe you'll find marvel on it , even if long gone. I wish to show you. α

I assume those Carapaces long gone after they were unthreaded from the Curse had the knowledge , since they were the ones who brought me. In turn , I assume you'd be able to obtain it , if you don't have it already.α
