It was much warmer there than you'd expect a place like that to be. [He's there in the memory. What it was before.] Jetstreams.

Everything was white. The ground, the plants, the buildings. Before, when people visited, they said it didn't seem real. Especially during the dark months, when everything was aglow under the auroras.

It was so... beautiful...

[The life continues to seep out of his voice.]

There was an ore in the ground that caused all that. A special type of lead known as Amber Lead or White Lead. This crystalline substance that was stark white. The World Government discovered it about a century prior to my birth.

It quickly became our main industry and export back then. The demand for high quality items made with Amber Lead was insatiable around the world. The World Government and the Royal Family worked out a deal... both reaped insane, never ending amounts of profits. What was left went to the nation. Everyone had a comfortable life. We were all happy to go along with the demands being placed on us.

[Bitterness leaks in. Betrayal.]

We had no idea we were being blindly led down the path to our own deaths.
