Teachings of Transience

Transience is the dream of the nation of thunder.

Fleeting glories are the highest expression of mortal beauty, for are we mortals not like the flashing lightning itself? Like a lovely dream or blossoming spark, we shall leave a gorgeous mark on the eternal night sky.

Guide to Transience

Transience is the dream of the nation of thunder.

We find the greatest joys in mortal life in transient dreams, for is life itself not like the shadow of the thunder? Pursue your dreams into the clouds if you wish, and enjoy the unexpected silence of the dim lamp-lit nights.

Philosophies of Transience

Transience is the dream of the nation of thunder.

The fleeting nature of this mortal world is the essence of beauty, for are our lives in this world not akin to the levin flash? Yet the might of the divine comes suddenly, and before the roar of eternity, who can stand?

Weekly Boss Drops

  • La Signora Challenge Reward

Hellfire Butterfly

A warped shard that houses great might. You obtained this from defeating Signora, who unleashed her original power.

The seal of ice was broken under duress, and as her former will surged forth from its pale white prison and she remembered her old name once more, the undying butterfly danced amidst burning flesh and blood. And she remembered her past, wandering the land, spreading the flame, burning away all evil — and she recalled the face of the person she could never meet again.

Event Reward

  • Limited-Duration Event Reward (Buy from Event Shops)

Crown of Insight

A precious Talent Level-Up material. Increases Talent Level from 9 to 10. Once a medium for the storage and transfer of wisdom in ancient times.
