Making 4 stops along the way and only ever traveling in one direction. The theory goes that the train is the collective presence of mortals that end up in Exilis. Manifests as a Train, A ways to leave, A constant appliance of hope.
  
  
-**Time In Exilis**+**Time** \\ 
 +Time is stagnant in Exilis. It dose not flow or change but rather sits still and rots. It affects every being differently. Some have no effect at all and never age, Others may find parts of there body aging at different rates. Some have their memories switched about to different parts of their lves, forgetting things that haven't happened or learning things that have yet to happen. These effects of rotting time are staved off by the light in the lanterns that ever mortal has.

-Time for Exilis in relation to other plains of existance is very odd and unpredictable. Exilis acts as a great lake of time where as other plains would simply have a river, ever going foward. Upon entering the lake of time your guess is as good as anyones where you will exit this lake. +**The Abyssal Lake** \\

 At the end of the railway that runs through the land of Exilis is the capital, a glorious city of brilliant light, acting as a beacon of the land of Exilis providing safety for all. Sages are the enforcers of the government, powerful beings that have learned the art of light magic and can manipulate it to their will. This makes the Counsel the overbearing power of the Land as they control the light and lumens but the government controls the counsel.  At the end of the railway that runs through the land of Exilis is the capital, a glorious city of brilliant light, acting as a beacon of the land of Exilis providing safety for all.

 They usually dress sages in long decorated robes of various colours showing their rank and golden faceless masks, it is very rare to see what the sages look like underneath their robes. They are known as stern but fair, they only seek order and justice and are overall pitiful and kind-hearted even though they are told not to directly interact with the citizens. \\ If you need help, a Sage will always be willing.

Those wise enough to know that there are infarct 5 entities they share the land of Exilis but sometimes it's better to forget about the scarecrow, there is a reason it has no name.

People that have this happen to them often live in isolation afterwards to either study their thoughts or some perhaps in shame as they were forced into it by their fellow believers or offered as a sacrifice. It's not uncommon to see one or two of these ascended creatures wandering around the towns if you see one perhaps it's best to chat they often have the deepest information available and it's often curiosity that makes the best conversation.+Three Old Gods have their physical presence in this //Abyssal Lake//.

But all it seems to do is cause horrible mutations into ghastly creatures resembling those found in the //Abyssal Lake//.
