“Over there, far away where the lights go out, there are regions that have always inhabited the spirits, forming the most beautiful legends.
Gathered within a single kingdom called Polariskopéô, humans – also called mortals – devote several years of their life. It is here, in a universe reflecting the seven colors of the prism of light, that lives an anisotropic body: the Vagabond of Limbo. Elected Guardian of the Cosmic Tree, he enters the most unfathomable of sanctuaries to speak to the righteous. It symbolizes cycle and renewal; a being where tensions oppose each other in equal proportions in order to create balance. Every seven years her skin changes and seven of her tears give birth to new  physiognomies under the echo of an organic vibration. The Vagabond changes and moves constantly. As such, it is given as an attribute, the mask. Masked or masked, he is the Origin that possesses all appearances. Men everywhere know him, everywhere men fear him and everywhere men esteem him.
