Somewhere in the distance stood a chain of mountains overlooking a vast valley below. These mountains, known as the Mountains of Wisdom, kept watch over the Valley of a Thousand Moons. They are considered sacred and will hopefully remain hidden from prying eyes and minds. To a great extent, the range has been kept secret and therefore safe because the realm of knowledge had never been documented in any ancient texts or scrolls, thereby ensuring that no one could easily discover it. The only knowledge of their existence and location had been passed down through word of mouth from one Wisdom Seeker to the next. This land does not contain precious jewels or valuable items, but is a repository of knowledge and insight from countless generations and locations throughout the known and unknown world. If the unthinkable were to happen, and the Valley were to be found, three Wisdom Seeker Sentinels had been assigned to stand guard high in the mountains. Therefore, making sure that the Valley would be safe from outside prying eyes. One Sentinel is perched on the cliff of the Moon, another high in a cave of Sun Mountain, and the last near the Gong of the Cosmos, which was only to be sounded once an intruder was located. Together, they safeguarded the wisdom collected since the dawn of time. Here, when the seekers needed to find answers to their questions, and if fortune smiled upon them, these inquiries could be answered. Then, one day, not long ago, a place thought to be lost to history for a thousand years, and whose existence was once believed to have been completely extinguished, was discovered by Malachi Starheart: “The Valley of a Thousand Moons.” Where the long-lost and forgotten “Mountains of Wisdom’ may be found. During a period of a solar eclipse, Malachi stumbled across a cave. With the help of a flame from a flickering torch, he could see that the walls bore symbols scrawled from floor to ceiling. These markings, he hoped, might help provide critical information on the whereabouts of the lost city he sought. What he was able to decipher from the walls were references to a flowing river whose color matched that of the daytime sky, and above it were mountains that stretched into the clouds. This body of flowing water, which is called the “Azure River”, if found, may lead him into the Valley they wished to find for many years. For him to finally find the Valley of a Thousand Moons, Malichi may be able to go to a cherished place his late Uncle Cosmo journeyed to many years ago and locate the ancient scrolls of knowledge.
