Koloktos' Finale

At the end of the Old Regime, Koloktos' followers attempted to invade Albatross to stop the Industrial Revolution. They were led by Koloktos himself who, at the time, was very weak due to the lack of faith people had in him. During the invasion, Koloktos ultimately died while crossing the Frozen Desert. As the story goes: as his soul was ascending to heaven, he attempted to bring the earth with him and wrap it around himself to stop him from ascending. The remains of this attempt of his is what created Koloktos' Finale.

The "Mountain"
Koloktos' Finale is regarded as being the only mountain in the mid world. This is technically true. It isn't exactly what one would think of when thinking of a mountain. It is very thing and snake-like. However, many citizens from all over the Mid World traveled to the Finale to attempt to climb it as if it were a real mountain.

Culture
The Mountain became an icon for Rybak during the New Regime. It was visible from almost everywhere, even slightly. It was certainly visible from Albatross itself. Most thought of it as an unpleasant reminder that the only divine days are over and God is dead whereas others considered it the symbol of the New Regime. Many painters who painted scenes in Albatross would always show the finale somewhere in the background. It became a symbol of Albatrossi life. It is even visible in some places in the Skeen Kingdom. It was referred to as Et Gnyrts which means 'the string.' They called it the string because they imagined it as a string connected to the ball that is the earth. Many old Skeen folktale talk about adventurers who would travel to Et Gnyrts and have "all answers answered."

Airwalker Dante
Airwalker and Emperor Dante spent his final years living at the top of the Finale. He did so as a form of symbolism, showing his people that he is always looking over them and the city. He spent his time alone but never once in his journal did he complain about it.
