Significance[]
An ancient text of the faith of Mystryl said that a time gate "...lies hidden upon the back of the mountains, where the ice and rocks touch the summer sky of Amaunator's belt." The "Amaunator's belt" was normally held to be an allusion to the constellation, and the time gate situated in the Spine of the World mountain range.[1][2]
