Unbeknownst to her, perched atop the highest peak of the Eastern Ridge, the mighty Dragon of the East Wind stirred. An ancient creature of immense power, the dragon was the guardian of the east and a force of nature that could either bestow blessings or wreak havoc. Intrigued by the solitary lantern rising into his domain, the dragon swooped down, riding the currents of the wind. As he drew near, he heard the echoes of Akemi's prayers carried on the wind. Touched by the sincerity and humility in her words, the dragon decided to intervene. With a mighty beat of his wings, he sent a gust of wind that carried the lantern even higher, beyond the reach of the earthly realm and into the cosmos. In the quiet of the night, Akemi watched in awe as her lantern disappeared into the stars. A warm wind blew, rustling her robes and stirring the waters of the ethereal sea. It was the Dragon of the East Wind's silent promise - her prayers had been heard. And thus, on a night of whispered wishes and magical sprites, Akemi Clever of the Arena found a beacon of hope in the vast Runiverse, an assurance that even amidst chaos and conflict, her prayers were not lost to the wind.

Beacon of the Abyss
The lighthouse at the mouth of Kaiju Bay, where tumultuous waters meet the vast expanse of the sea, is known as the "Beacon of the Abyss." This name is derived from its purpose and the profound lore surrounding its creation. The Beacon of the Abyss is not a mere structure of stone and light; it is a powerful magical edifice, its foundation laid with ancient runes and its light fueled by the arcane.
The magic imbued within the Beacon serves a dual purpose: it navigates sailors through the treacherous waters, guiding them safely away from the jagged rocks and whirlpools that plague the bay's entrance. More critically, the Beacon's light acts as a ward, suppressing the dark entities and monstrous beasts that dwell in the depths of Kaiju Bay. These creatures, drawn from the darkest corners of the Runiverse, are said to be remnants of a bygone era, when magic ran wild and untamed.
Legend has it that the Beacon was erected by a coalition of wizards and warriors from the Kaiju Clan, who recognized the need to safeguard the bay not only from navigational hazards but also from the potential resurgence of ancient evils. The light it emits is no ordinary light; it is a blend of mystical energies, capable of reaching the darkest depths and keeping the malevolent forces at bay.
When the Beacon's light fails, which is a rare but dire event, the consequences are immediate and catastrophic. Ships lose their way, falling prey to the bay's natural dangers, but far worse is the awakening of the abyssal beasts. Freed from their suppression, they rise, tempted by the darkness that once again envelops their domain, and chaos ensues along the shores and within the waters of Kaiju Bay. These are the times when the Kaiju Clan and other protectors of the Runiverse must stand ready, for the battle to restore the Beacon's light is not just a battle against the elements, but against the very shadows that seek to reclaim their ancient dominion.
