Notes: According to scholars, the Falls symbolizes the Tears of Compassion. When Lady Yeralon, the Mother of Compassion, was brutally destroyed by Bryntryst the Lord of Chaos, Her tears trickled down from the Heavens onto Theran soil. Some say that they fell into a Holy Chalice which, when drunk, shall grant Immortality. Others say that once the Tears touched the earth, they sprouted into a beautiful Rose, symbolizing Yeralon's last message to Thera. Scholars still have yet to identify the Immortal whose Hand is shown in the night skies. Some believe it is a Deity of the Light, reaching for the bolt with which to smite Mina, the Hound of Chaos in defense of Yeralon as symbolized in the Chalice. Others say it is Lord Bryntryst Himself, assailing Yeralon along side the Chaos Hound.
