The Wall

A large monument in dedication to the history of the Vel'Karis, constructed by Daedalus.
The wall is covered in a large mosaic, separated into several segments, which stretch in order from the wall in front of you, circling all around the room.
Each displays a particular scene, and Daedalus spoke about each of the panels to Group Alpha.
The first panel depicts a large mass of people ascending a massive set of stairs, with the sun at the top. Beneath, it reads
“Our people rose from their ancient home, and became ascendant.
The second panel shows one man, a hooded figure with outstretched arms, the view of a city between them.
“We swore loyalty to Praeteris, our divine protector, who has guided us from time immemorial.”
The third panel shows the same hooded figure from before, alongside what appears to be a woman in a black cloak, standing side by side, hands interlocked.
“Praeteris took Stelli’Aris as wife and councilor, and the two of them let magic prosper”
The fourth panel shows what appears to be five roads converging to a single point, with an orange circle at the center. Near this circle, on the roads, are several limbs, painted in bronze, one for each road. Two arms, Two Legs, and a head.
“Our Emperor and Empress brought our people close together, and began work on a new people.”
The fifth panel shows what appears to be dozens of Formis, standing in row upon row, weapon in hand.
“We Formis were created to protect the Vel’Karis, and we would accomplish our task with fervor.”
The sixth panel shows a five headed dragon high in the sky, beneath which stood hundreds of people, both Formis and otherwise, with who you assume to be Praeteris and Stelli’Aris at the center.
“The Drak’Vor came and for twelve brutal years we fought with all we had, and won.”
The seventh panel shows a crater in the ground, with the land being pulled into the sky. It appears there is a city on top of said landmass.
“Our people would ascend once more, and Praeteris would block access to us, to prevent outside incursion once again.”
The eighth panel shows the same city as before, still floating, though no ground is beneath it. On the left and right sides, there are what seems to be two armies facing each other, the left hand army led by Praeteris and Stelli’Aris, and the right hand army seemingly being led by another figure, a woman in a black cape, wielding a sword.
“The child of Praeteris and Stelli’Aris would rise against her parents, and incite a rebellion against our masters. Wielding the Blade called Nemesis, she nearly defeated her creators, but her strength was not enough.”
The ninth panel shows another city, walled off, along a coastline.
“The surviving rebels were shown mercy, and allowed to walk Toris once more. Their leader was locked away. We were told that should we wish to walk amongst the ascended people once again, we must wield the helm at the Tower of the Iron Star.”
