To achieve this, they started building a brand new city at the west side of the land, named 's-Hertstone—which they build inside the wall of a giant mountain.

Inspired by these revelations, Kenau established a great cathedral on the Isle of Stars, spreading the religion across Hollandos and starting the Province of Atlanos. This widespread believe made her a beloved queen.

Ten years after she had her first vision, she experienced another vision revealing a magical source hidden in the Zeelos forests.
