After creating Arindal, we developed advanced research equipment for the Arins to explore it. LX1 was created remotely and sent to prospect the land and gather data to assist the researchers in piecing together the story of Arindal. Our objective is to gain a deeper understanding of Arindal from various perspectives, including its history, culture, science, and geography.
Through analyzing the echoes of Arindal, the researchers have uncovered that the land was once home to a thriving Lootian civilization with a functional economy and rich culture. However, their autonomy and lack of control caused their self-destruction, resulting in the extinction of all Lootians and the permanent entrapment of their life forces in the underworld. Despite this catastrophic event, vegetation such as trees, shrubs, grass, and microorganisms were able to withstand the virus and continue to flourish to this day.
Echoes found in Arindal reveal the significance of the Bodhi trees in the Arin culture. These trees, believed to be the first species of Arindal trees, were planted by Artimia, the goddess of fire. The Bodhi trees were considered a sacred gift from the goddess to protect all of nature. The warmth radiating from these trees was so powerful that one could almost feel the divine presence while standing close to them. Worshippers used them to connect with Artimia and the natural world.
LX1’s exploration of Arindal also uncovered a rare and remarkable element of its natural beauty: the Zarathustrian flower. These stunning flowers emit a bioluminescent glow that illuminates the surrounding area, making them a striking sight in the darkness of night. However, their blooming process is shrouded in mystery, as they only seem to bloom when close to fire. Scientists in Arindal discovered that planting the flowers near Bodhi trees provides the necessary heat to make them bloom. Additionally, the flowers are mildly hallucinogenic, adding to their allure and making them highly prized by the Lootians. While not worshipped, the Zarathustrian flowers held a deep spiritual significance to the Lootians, and their continuous blooming was a testament to the Lootians’ deep respect and reverence for the natural world.
The Lootians held a profound reverence for nature and understood the importance of preserving it. The Bodhi trees and Zarathustrian flowers, two of the rare and exquisite plant species found in Arindal, are a testament to this appreciation. The Lootian civilization may have perished, but their appreciation and respect for nature inspire us.
