Minions of the Crystal Sphere

A glittering globe of transparent plastic hovers above Neptune, its surface a labyrinth of tiered cities where millions live under the unyielding rule of the Protectors. Inside the crystal sphere, the City of the Inner Circle commands a society built on strict patterns and cold law, while the lower oceans churn beneath anti‑gravity beams that keep the whole structure aloft. The residents—scientists, slaves, and the restless Irreconcilables—perform their lives like choreographed rituals, each deviation punished without appeal.

Into this ordered world arrives Vyrl Guerlan, a wanderer without a nation, whose presence rattles the fragile peace. As the ceremonial bells toll and the enigmatic “Blessed Sleep” looms over the populace, whispers of dissent begin to stir beneath the polished façade. Listeners will find themselves drawn into a vivid tableau of futuristic oppression, ancient myth, and the first sparks of rebellion that could reshape the fate of the crystal sphere.
