−
The Template manifested from the Glory's old grandma and guides all aspirants since that day.
+
When the Spirarch retreated into the Glory, below it was a little carnelian rose.
 +
 
 +
Forever growing in the shadows, it saw the Glory for the first time.
 +
 
 +
And all it wanted, was more.
 +
 
 +
The Everbloom has always been there. It was a fantasy, in the minds of men. A dream. An ideal.
 +
 
 +
Somewhere to forget all your worries. Somewhere where all your whims and needs are fulfilled. Somewhere to indulge in the world's greatest pleasures with no consequences whatsoever.
 +
 
 +
So it grew, and grew, and reached upwards until it could rise no more. From its blooms emerged beautiful, butterfly-winged nymphs who tended to its leaves and flowers. Its thorns became stairsteps. From its roses poured rivers of gilded Glory-nectar. And its roots became a paradise.
 +
 
 +
It is all you desire.
 +
 
 +
It wants you, as much as you want it.
 +
 
 +
Enter it, and be no longer.

Owner(s) Designated Continuity Man

The Everbloom, also known as Verdant Elysium, Brightseeker, and Eden's Tower, is yet another Neph hour, this time a Lantern-Grail.

It is the paradise in the back of your mind. Somewhere you can forget all your worries. A place for you. It is all you desire.

Description

History

When the Spirarch retreated into the Glory, below it was a little carnelian rose.

Forever growing in the shadows, it saw the Glory for the first time.

And all it wanted, was more.

The Everbloom has always been there. It was a fantasy, in the minds of men. A dream. An ideal.

Somewhere to forget all your worries. Somewhere where all your whims and needs are fulfilled. Somewhere to indulge in the world's greatest pleasures with no consequences whatsoever.

So it grew, and grew, and reached upwards until it could rise no more. From its blooms emerged beautiful, butterfly-winged nymphs who tended to its leaves and flowers. Its thorns became stairsteps. From its roses poured rivers of gilded Glory-nectar. And its roots became a paradise.

It is all you desire.

It wants you, as much as you want it.

Enter it, and be no longer.
