🙏 Beacon of Hope#

Constructed during a time of great turmoil after the loss of Paradox Pass, the Beacon of Hope stands on the shores of the Illusion Cliffs. It serves as a defiant symbol of the MindTech Institute's enduring spirit.

While more modest than other grand MT Beacons, this structure is built from precious marble mined from the local cliffs. At its top sits a device crafted from the crystals of the Cave of Mirrors, which reflect and refract light. This apparatus gathers ambient light, casting a single, unwavering beam westwards towards the occupied territory.

Visible from Paradox Pass on a clear day during the sunrise, the beacon's light is a silent message to the citizens there, a promise that they are not forgotten.

A poem is inscribed at the beacon's base, as a testament to the faction's resilience:

*When despair reigns,

And darkness comes,

Walls may be gone,

Stones turn to dust,

While thought remains,

Hope shines the light,

The minds will stand,

And end the night.*
