Nature of the Sound

[EdwinLi]

There's a set of logs in Academia Adynar that describe the development of the Sound. And how it "moved" from one location to another, driving Creation Magic crazy as it went. Amarot was just the last place it ended up. We also still have no idea what caused the Sound. And so far nothing links it back to Creaton Magic as a source of it. Just that Creaiton Magic going crazy was an effect.

The effect of the Sound itself is... interesting. In that it didn't make Creation Magic not work, but rather made it work too well. Instead of having to focus on creating anything, people would spontaneously make things they imagined... specifically things they were afraid of. And anyone with an imagination can see one thing and think of something more terrifying than it. So the Sound was a snowballing problem that... realistically... I don't know how it would be stopped.

The fact that it was moving around suggest there is maybe a source that was emitting the Sound. What that source is, we just have to wait and find out in 6.0 but if lucky they may start revealing a glimps of it in 5.5/5.55

The moving part is also important since it means the source was not teleporting by physically moving. This would mean the source of the sound had to start at a specific area of the world and made its way to Amarot as its final stop.

A way we may figure out what the source of the Sound is if we manage to at least find records of someone or something that is commonly seen in the area where the Sound started to grow louder during the Final Days.

If Azem had been looking for the source of the sound then it is logical that Azem may also have left records of what was found at each location where the Sound grew louder until it moved away to the next location. Things such as a common sighting of a specific thing or person, behaviors of people, common changes in the region where the Sound started to grow louder, and etc. We know while it was common for people living in Amarot to wear same clothing and mask, the people outside of Amarot may not have followed the same policy and wear different clothing.

Amarot was basically like a isolated Utopia after all and only those who can get in could live the peaceful life the 12 Ascians wanted so much to bring back.
