Although members of the High Spheres live in an ultramodern world, some retain a nostalgic fascination for the old world. They collect artifacts and relics salvaged by nomads from the ruins of vanished civilizations. These objects are seen as symbols of their conquest of the past and domination of the future. For the elite, possessing an ancient relic is not only a sign of prestige, but also a constant reminder of the fragility of any civilization - a fragility they have sworn never to share.
Relics are sold at a premium by nomads, who risk their lives to recover them from devastated areas. Some of these objects are incorporated into the palaces of the High Spheres, displayed like trophies. But for some members of this elite, these objects also serve as inspiration for new technological and cultural innovations. They see these relics as a means of merging past and future, a power that reminds them that everything, even history, can be shaped to suit them.
