At this moment, five sixth-tier mages gathered in a chamber that seemed to hum with quiet energy. Before them floated what at first glance appeared to be a cluster of glowing orbs, but a closer look revealed them to be planets, each marked and cataloged by these mages over the course of their long journeys.
Their attention was drawn to one orb in particular, its light extinguished. Silence fell, thick and oppressive.
One of the mages reached forward, hand hovering over the dead world. With a practiced motion, he grasped it, feeling the absence of warmth, gravity, and energy that had once defined it. A subtle shiver ran through the room, as if the vessel itself recognized the significance of this void.
The orb expanded before them, revealing the planet in full, accompanied by a stream of data flowing alongside it. Charts, records, and the results of countless experiments appeared in the air, giving the mages a complete view of the world's history and its failures.
