In this micro episode of the Sense & Signal leadership and sensemaking podcast, Jodah and Dan explore the sudden firing of Sam Altman from Open AI, the organization that brought the world ChatGPT. While Dan cheers this move by Open AI, Jodah wants to dig deeper. They discuss two fundamental tensions that may have led to Sam Altman's firing from Open AI. The first is the governance structure of Open AI. Is it sustainable for them to try to be a mission driven nonprofit and a for profit tech company at the same time? And how will they reconcile the tension between people who want to accelerate getting artificial intelligence products like ChatGPT to the public versus those like Ilya Sutskever and Mira Murati who are on the cautious and safety side of the debate. They also discuss whether Open AI's board may be spooked by a sudden advancement in artificial intelligence, Open AI's recent Dev Day event as an inflection point, and a possible deal with the Chinese to develop a new AI chip as possible causal factors for Sam Altman's firing by the Open AI board. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daniel-tarker/message

Deep in the heart of a dense forest, a community of chimpanzees live together in harmony....NOT! Jodah and Dan have both recently watched Chimp Empire,the new Netflix documentary about a tribe of Chimps that live in the forests of Uganda. Although they both felt it was an amazing undertaking and cinematic, they were mostly intrigued to watch the chimpanzees encounter challenges such as limited resources and competition for mates, leading to power struggles and conflicts, as some individuals sought to dominate and control the groups. They apply Mark Van Vogt's evolutionary leadership theory to their analysis of Chimp Empire to identify how the leadership behaviors of these tribes may be mapped to leadership behaviors in our more complex world today. Question...what can we learn from the engagements of chimps in the wild? What evolutionary lessons can we leverage? Are there parallels to us and our work environments. Do you ever get a hankering to just grab a coat rack and run around the office screaming your head off]? We recommend you not to. Watch as Dan and Jodah try to make sense of what they watched and attempt to harvest some leadership knowledge along the way. Show Summary. The hosts, Jodah and Dr. Dan, introduce the topic of the episode, which is a BBC nature series called Chimp Empire that follows the lives and conflicts of three rival chimp families in Senegal. They discuss how the series showcases different aspects of leadership, such as power, influence, strategy, culture, communication, and innovation. They compare and contrast the leadership styles of the three chimp leaders: David, the dominant alpha male of the Fongoli group; Luthor, the ambitious challenger of the Simenti group; and Jumkin, the charismatic leader of the Baobab group. They analyze how each leader uses different tactics to maintain or gain power, such as forming alliances, exploiting resources, displaying strength, or creating narratives. They also explore how each leader faces different challenges and threats, such as predators, droughts, diseases, or internal dissent. They draw parallels between the chimp dynamics and human organizations, and share some insights and lessons for leaders in complex and uncertain environments. They conclude by reflecting on their own experiences and preferences as leaders and followers, and invite the listeners to share their thoughts and feedback on the episode. https://www.netflix.com/title/81311783#leadership #management #sensemaking #chimpanzee #empire #ChimpEmpire #evolutionarypsychology #evolutionaryleadership --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daniel-tarker/message

They debate what artificial intelligence is - and whether artificial is really an appropriate descriptor, discuss the impact on the workforce, consider how tools like Chat GPT can improve productivity, ponder whether AI programs should be paused, and how this technology forces us to reflect on what it means to be human - and a human of value in a seemingly indifferent universe. They also talk about how Roahl Dahl's 1953 short story, “The Great Automatic Grammatizator” predicts Chat GPT. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daniel-tarker/message

We have been using them to record the cast and you can now get a discount (details below) if you want to use them for your podcast needs.   For today's topic we have dug deep for our lore and are returning to the Dark to discuss Jodah (who apparently was "chased" by "Goblins" and fell into some fountain giving him long life) and his Magical Mirror. This Mirror has had a lot of uses but most importantly in the early days of his long life it allowed Jodah to store his memories as a way to cope with the grief and despair that he experienced. This sets us up nicely to bring back up (thanks Chase!!) the topic of Coping Ahead from Dialectical Behavior Therapy!   We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!   This episode is sponsored by Zencastr.

AR)在多明纳尼亚上没有任何一个名字能够比旅法师克撒更能为我们带来如此复杂的感觉。尽管大多数人都只把他看作是一个虚构的存在,认为此人也许只是在兄弟之战时某个法师想象出来的人物,而事实却比想象更加的神奇。很久以前,克撒是一个领导者,一个独裁者,以及破坏者。在巨大的转变之后令他成为了一名救世主。克撒与他的弟弟米斯拉出生于阿基夫历的头一年。作为他们故事的起点,他们的出生便富有传奇性,但克撒他们后来却被卷入了阿基夫的权力斗争之中。所有的传奇都会有个真正的起因,但克撒他们却有着一个非常卑下的开端。克撒与米斯拉出生于一位阿基夫显赫贵族的家庭之中。兄弟俩的早年生活在一个优越的环境中,而两兄弟总是想要试着超越对方。兄弟俩都是顶端的天才,哥哥克撒在神器与历史方面表现出极大的天赋,而弟弟米斯拉则在社交与影响力方面表现突出。只要在一起,就没有任何问题能够难到他们,但除了那件事之外。兄弟俩的平静童年在他们的父亲被迫于他们的母亲去世后再婚时被打断了。为了能够得到一个有利的继承人,克撒的父亲选择与另一名有名的贵族再婚,但她却是一个极度自私的贪婪之徒。在过了几年后,克撒的父亲患病垂危,因为害怕掠夺了所有财产的贪婪妻子危及到儿子们的安全,他将两个孩子转交给了托卡西雅,一位在法拉吉(阿基夫边境处的沙漠地带)的索蓝遗迹中工作的阿基夫大考古学家。带着对继母的仇视,克撒与米斯拉开始在遗迹中担当学徒,探索着过往的神秘事物。克撒关注着那些神奇的索蓝神器生物,而米斯拉则喜欢听法拉及工人们所述说的古老故事。他们都是这个阿基夫勘测队中最重要的成员。某天,考古勘测队的人们发现了一架已毁坏的古索蓝飞行机械,扑翼机。兄弟俩与他们的同伴们立刻开始试着重组这架神奇的机械。重造工作进行的十分顺利,而克撒成为继索蓝以来第一个有幸翱翔于天空的人类。米斯拉追随着飞在天上的哥哥,在回来时给大家带回一个令他们惊异不止的大发现。整个沙漠的地面上描绘着很多古老的神秘生物图案。克撒很快的将这些绘图转换为一系列数学方程式,每一个绘图可能都代表着一处索蓝遗迹,它们包围着那些较少且更重要的核心遗迹。于是,克撒、米斯拉与托卡西雅一起借着扑翼机前去揭示索蓝人的秘密。在逃过一只不小心遇上的沙漠洛克鸟后,三个冒险者发现自己正站在古老的索蓝首都翠鸟城的遗址之上。克撒将这些遗迹重命名为喀洛斯,在旧阿基夫语中它的意思为“神秘”。在探索遗迹的过程中,他们发现一间核心房间坐落于一系列洞穴的最深处。在那房间的正中,一个古老的动力石被安放在一个能量基座之上。关于两兄弟到底谁先接触动力石在历史上存在着很多的争议,但这两兄弟很快就会发现自己极其迫切的需要对方手中持有的另一半动力石。不幸的是,这样的一个大发现将会让他们付出惨重的代价。守护着动力石的索蓝守护兽这时被唤醒,并开始搜寻以摧毁解放它们的人。克撒利用手中的半片攻击那些守护兽,反而却让它们更加强大。于是三个人开始逃跑,直到米斯拉试着使用了他拥有的半片为止。他的半片与克撒有完全相反的效果,渐渐减弱了这些苏其守护兽,让它们无法追上他们。三个人逃出遗迹,却很快发现自己再度成为了巨大洛克鸟的捕食对象。不过克撒发挥了他的聪明才智,设法恢复了一个荒废已久的索蓝蜘蛛--和附近的神器生物很相似。年长的哥哥用这台机械消灭了洛克鸟,然后大家玩命的逃过了苏其战士们的追杀。托卡西雅长长的叹了一口气。在她的一生中已经历了太多的冒险。她感激上天仍然让她继续活下去,然后很快就回到自己的工作之中。而兄弟两人却不再那么热心,两个人互相指责对方激活了索蓝的防卫力量。争论演化得更为激烈,并最终让他们打了起来。托卡西雅阻止了争斗,呵斥了兄弟俩一顿后便开始准备回家。回到营地之后,克撒在数周内都紧闭着自己住处的大门,而米斯拉则离开得更远,花费许多的时间去接触那些法拉吉挖掘工人。兄弟俩也曾试着为对方做点什么,但一旦他们之间出现分歧,就会很快的变得不可收拾。自从发现自己手中的动力石半片能够让神器更为强大后,克撒将它命名为强能石。而介于能够将神器的力量减弱,他便将米斯拉的那块称为弱能石。一天夜里,米斯拉走进克撒的住处,要求得到克撒的强能石。两个人再一次打了起来,这次他们使用了各自的半片动力石当作武器。于是在托卡西雅进到克撒的房子里准备阻止他们时,一场剧烈的爆炸发生了。爆炸完全的摧毁了小屋,以及克撒他们的导师托卡西雅。米斯拉因为内疚于托卡西雅的死,趁夜逃离了营地。就此,阿基夫人探险队的存在也走到了尽头。当阿基夫人失去了托卡西雅的领导时,法拉吉人便很快要求他们离开他们的土地,同时他们也开始渐渐地变得富有敌意,几乎将阿基夫人视为侵入他们故乡的敌人。只有克撒与老法拉吉人阿马荷才真正了解到有什么事情将要发生。孩子们都开始惧怕克撒,认为没有托卡西雅的帮助,他将把他们带到毁灭。克撒离开了营地,他没有返回阿基夫,而是旅行到了一个领近的国家·估天。在那里他成为了螺斯科,一个小有名气的钟表匠的普通助手。克撒将自己深埋入工作之中,觉得这种方式可以很简单的让自己遗忘掉他那不洁的过去。事情在佑天的公主在某天到访时发生了转变。这位公主希望他们修好她的音乐盒。克撒很快就发现了故障所在,并将修好的音乐盒还给了充满感激的公主。克撒与凯拉公主之间这样一个简单的接触,将会令他们彼此的生活产生重大的转变。一天,螺斯科逼着克撒与他一起到街上逛逛。两人很快步入了一个聚会,在那里佑天国王公开挑选王国中最强壮的人,以成为他女儿的丈夫。所有想尝试的人必须将将一座巨大的翡翠雕像从宫殿后院的一角推至另一角。就算是全萼城最强壮的人,在他的肌肉被拉伤之前也只能将雕像移动极短的距离。这时,克撒看到了古老的贾伦巨著,他开始产生了些许的兴趣。克撒对他的雇主说自己将会去尝试国王的考验。“螺斯科先生,我想我要去搬那个雕像。”利用其高超的神器技术,克撒制造了一个暂时代用的苏其,并认为它有足够的力量去移开国王的雕像。在准备了数个月之后,克撒希望国王能够允许他用自己的头脑去移开那尊雕像。国王对其十分感兴趣,并同意让克撒试一试。克撒的挑战获得了完美的成功,但国王却仍然不怎么愿意相信他,直到螺斯科为国王展示了克撒的扑翼机设计图,并允诺克撒在结婚之后能够创造更多神奇的发明为止。克撒于婚后立即就为这个自己新隶属的国家创造了许多的神器。他的新徒弟,裘瑞林的达硌士,他向这位首席神器师证明了自己的才干。克撒高兴着,达硌士高兴着,国王也高兴着。而全萼城里最不满意的人则是凯拉。克撒只关心着他的机械以及如何再去创造新的发明,然后为了做到这些事情,他不断的拼命工作。而克撒唯一不能解决的问题就是去取陪他新婚的妻子。这时,佑与法拉吉之间的关间越来越紧张,很快就会超出界限。因此,在国王的召集下,估天、阿基夫、法拉吉还有贸易国家寇利斯召开了一次和谈。国王希望在这次和谈中向法拉吉展示自己那优越的军事力量,并将用克撒的苏其与扑翼机来做结束。不过,克撒将会在这一天里受更非常之多的震惊。法拉吉人来到了寇利斯,并带着一只传说中的钛龙引擎。这个生物非常之栩栩如生,但的确是由人工建造而成。克撒惊讶于到底要何等的天才才能创造出如此的机械,他不需等太久就会明白。站在法拉吉人队伍最前面的是穿着沙漠长袍的米斯拉。在与自己的弟弟简短的交谈了一段时间后,克撒发现米斯拉现在已经成为了法拉吉族长的首席顾问,并且他还有能力操控那台龙形引擎。整个和谈最终变成了一场灾难。族长与国王之间交谈还不到五分钟就吵了起来并很快演变为流血事件。佑天人用他们的扑翼机攻击法拉吉人,但却敌不过法拉吉的龙型引擎。片刻之后,国王试图攻击年轻的族长,但却立刻遭到了杀害。米斯拉诅咒着克撒的背叛并立刻被法拉吉人给拖走了。克撒呆立着,他其实是这场冲突中完全无辜的人。“我现在得回萼城去,跟我妻子报告她父王的死讯。我还要做她的丈夫,我要有理由跟她解释。可是我却什么也不知情。”克撒返回了萼城,将国王的死讯带给他的女儿。克撒与凯拉的婚姻生活继续恶化,而只有达硌士才愿意介入其中以进行调解。年轻的学徒向凯拉提示了一些关于她丈夫的事情,于是在表面上令整个国家恢复了平静。克撒仍然无法结束对自己弟弟开战的念头。于是另一次和谈召开,而这一次仍然无法成为流血冲突的终点。法拉吉人以伪装的和平状态来到了萼城。米斯拉也在其中,还有他的学徒阿士诺。当然,族长也是无处不在。和谈顺利的进行着,甚至米斯拉提出愿意阻止法拉吉继续攻击基周边的国家。但代价却是昂贵的,想令法拉吉人放弃他们的暴力,那么克撒就必须得交出他的强能石给他的弟弟。顽固的克撒拒绝了,就算经过了这么长时间,米斯拉竟然还是只想要克撒的石头。在一个灯火通明的庆祝会后,克撒与凯拉回到他们的住处就寝。很快,克撒的世界将在他觉醒之后发生重大的改变。在醒来时,克撒发现他的强能石不见了,而凯拉偷走了它,于是达硌士便为克撒找寻着凯拉的下落。克撒飞奔到米斯拉那里,却正好看到自己的妻子半裸着,正要将强能石给予他那可恨的弟弟。克撒从自己妻子的手中夺回强能石并利用它的力量攻击米斯拉。之后,达硌士设法抓住了阿士诺,而米斯拉却趁夜带着其他的法拉吉人逃走了。被自己的弟弟与妻子激怒了的克撒带着一队扑翼机离开了佑天进入到法拉吉沙漠中。但是数周都没有能发现他弟弟的踪迹。结果,克撒与他的分遣队遭到了受米斯拉控制的战争机械的攻击,几乎无法逃生。最后,只有克撒与另一名士兵存活下来,他们在一起开始艰苦的返回萼城。克撒回到萼城时发现那里正处于极为混乱的状态。米斯拉将他哥哥诱离了佑天,然后在夜间如同一个小偷般的发动了奇袭。在质问了少数生还者后,克撒发现达硌士已经设法将大多数他所设计的扑翼机释放出来进行抵抗。克撒认识到了自己的愚蠢,他居然会让米斯拉借着自己的冲动来制裁自己。克撒总是一个思考者,一个创造者。但就因为这样,却制造了无数的危机。克撒开始作出思考。“这一次,老弟,我再也不会手下留情了。我发誓绝对要让你一辈子也忘不掉,等着瞧吧!”克撒在阿基夫的边境线上建造了他的基地。阿基夫已经与佑天与寇利斯结盟,以令三个国家团结起来对抗法拉吉的破坏。克撒成为了护国者,而他将努力使自己的角色做到最好。他开始建造能够轻易战胜法拉吉战士的破坏兵器。下一步,他建造了巨大的塔楼,它们将整个阿基夫围起以防止既将来临的战争。所有的一切如克撒计划那样进行着,而克撒的心中却仍然存在着弱点。达硌士与凯拉带着年幼的哈宾来到了克撒之塔。凯拉发誓说哈宾是克撒的儿子,但克撒却很怕知道真相,以为那孩子是属于凯拉与米斯拉的。克撒勉强的欢迎这三个人进入了他的家,与他的资深助手在一起开始构造更强大的防卫力量。“我是个扫把星,我是瘟神,我待过的地方都会出事。我不想再伤害她、也不想再伤害任何人了啊。只有傻瓜才敢待在我身旁了。”在几年的时间里,米斯拉的势力便攻到了阿基夫的边界,但却很容易的就被这些新兵器给击退。终于,克撒能够转为攻势。克撒开始了攻向法拉吉地区的袭击。参战双方都消耗着巨大的资源,而其速度却惊人的快。能够赢得战争的关键就在于创造更好的神器引擎,而双方都由天才担当着领导。米斯拉在族长死后很快就固巩了自己的地位,而克撒也成为了自己的故国阿基夫的领导人(现在还包括佑天与寇利斯)。“我们已经过了两年的战火,而它煅炼了我们。现在战火仍然持续着,但我们变得更强了,而且我们将有能力抵抗这火焰。”在一次于沙漠视中的作战里,达硌士被米斯拉的首席助理阿士诺所俘获,不过却很快想办法逃了回去。很可能在这段时间里克撒发现了瑞莫斯,一条与米斯拉所有的那条有着相似设计的龙型引擎。克撒重塑了这台机械,但很快就失去了它的操控权。龙型引擎消失了,而克撒在很久之后才发现它的下落。克撒之子哈宾,现在已经成为了一名扑翼机军队的高级指挥官,他有了一个重大的发现。在远离泰瑞西亚大陆的地方有着一个拥有无限资源的大陆。木材与宝石在那个被森林覆盖的大陆上遍地都是。这个被称为亚格斯的地方,将成为克撒战胜他那可恨的弟弟的关键所在。而克撒还是将另一个国家拖入到这场战争之中。法拉吉与阿基夫双方的土地几乎都被破坏怠尽,几乎谁也看不到胜利的曙光。而克撒仍然觉得结束战争的方法就是必须阻止他的弟弟。但是,从克撒展开旅行的那一天起,这次旅程必定会成为一段传奇。在克撒到达亚格斯的几个月前,一群不速之客也到达了。米斯拉在发现这座岛屿可以有助于他的战争优势时也来到此处。更坏的是,岛上的保护者们也把他们的注意力转到了克撒的这一边。在一个狂热的夜晚,亚格斯精灵与树灵倾其全力向阿基夫人发动了攻势。尽管攻击被击倒,他们还是令克撒的军队受到了重创。在克撒的斥候报告道米斯拉已经展开攻击之前,克撒便已经知道,他将不会活过这一周。从这唯一的答案中解脱出来的克撒并不准备逃走。这是一场阿基夫与法拉吉之间,克撒与米斯拉之间的战斗,它会尽可能的延续下去。而这一次是一个让它彻底结束的好机会。将哈宾送离这座岛屿后,克撒眼睁睁的看着米斯拉的神器生物渐渐接近。带着沉重的心情,克撒将他自己的防御力量投入到了战斗之中。很快,两股军队就会发生冲突,从而产生更多的流血与死亡。至今为止已经过了六十年的时间,克撒与伪装成士兵的米斯拉再次的为了争辩谁是年轻时代的伪善者而吵闹起来。米斯拉叫嚷到克撒在托卡西雅还活着的时候就把机械的位置摆得比他还要高。然后他们打了起来,但是战斗几乎立刻就结束了。它根本就没有能够发生。当米斯拉的军队靠近克撒的造物时,双方的军队却突然开始彼此攻击起来。米斯拉的龙型引擎打倒了阿士诺的生化增幅机。克撒的估天神将消灭了达硌士的。双方的军队完全不听从它们各自主人的指令。克撒在他的造物面前呆立着,而很快他发现另一个更大的恐惧正渐渐接近他。好不容易,克撒终于再次近距离面对他的弟弟。米斯拉看起来不为何更加的年轻、强壮。米斯拉发誓要杀死克撒,并使用了弱能石。两个人战斗了一会儿,而克撒用他的强能石引出一阵冲击波对米斯拉造成了致命的伤害。但因为一些理由,米斯拉并没有被击倒。他只是蹒跚着走出烟雾,转过面来再次辱骂他的哥哥。这时克撒才注意了藏于恐怖之中的恐怖之物。在米斯拉那被烧烂的前胸处,是被剥去皮并冒着火花的电线以及泼溅出来的烁油。然后,米斯拉带着他对克撒的恨意与他自己的神器生物融合在了一起。达硌士带着坏消息到达了克撒的营地。一些来自被称为非瑞克西亚之空间的恶魔破坏了双方的战斗力。达硌士向克撒展示了阿士诺交给他的东西,一个同兆。通过触摸这个古老的神器,克撒感受到了无限的力量以及在他身边的土地。克撒已经与神器斗争了足够长的时间,而现在一股新的力量正在呼唤他。这片大地的力量,法术力之力,魔法之力。克撒命令达硌士立刻离开这个岛屿,因为很快这里会完全死灭。达硌士勉强的服从之后,克撒便开始去发现同兆之中的秘密。他只用了很短的时间就明白了它的奥秘所在。而这时,米斯拉再度来袭。两兄弟再次彼此面对,但却并非是克撒所想象的那样。米斯拉到来时,他骑在一个龙型引擎的顶端,甚至不止如此,米斯拉完全的变成了一个龙型引擎。他将自己的皮肉与他的马法拉的金属完全的溶合在了一起并准备来葬送他的哥哥。克撒几乎必败无疑时,同兆中的声音再次开始呼唤他。它说到了多明纳尼亚的终极劫难,只有将克撒与米斯拉创造出来的一切完全破坏掉才能让这片大地再度获得生机。克撒倾注了他全部的力量到这个咒语中,施放出他曾用过的许多法术中威力最强大的法术。克撒被摧毁了,米斯拉被摧毁了,亚格斯被摧毁了,没有东西残留下来,多明纳尼亚成为了一片废墟。于是,一切似乎就将这么终结。在各种历史的记载中,克撒与米斯拉在亚格斯的劫难中死亡。而这些记载也的确是正确的。克撒与米斯拉,包括哈宾,都被消灭了。英雄离去了,坏人离去了,而每件事物都迎来了一个简单的结尾。而在克撒的最后时光,他惊讶于到底是谁导致了米斯拉的死亡。达硌士告诉过他一个名为非瑞克西亚的地方,这是一个邪恶之地,它想借着令兄弟之间相互对抗的机会来令自己的势力紧紧抓牢整个多明纳尼亚。带着这份决心与克撒自己的执着,令克撒并没有就此死去。在第二天,克撒在炭化了的亚格斯上醒来。他其实已经在那巨大的灾难中死亡,但他却仍然站在这里,他超脱成为了多明纳尼亚上拥有最强力量的存在。看着那炭黑色的大海,克撒不禁唉起气来。他发现自己似乎变年轻了,而且最令他害怕的还是他那对闪闪发光的眼睛。他的眼睛变得象是一对太阳,两个闪烁的星光镶嵌在克撒的头颅内以令他保持活下去的动力。克撒立刻认出了这些宝石。原来,强能石与弱能石变成了克撒的眼睛。而这意味着什么,又会有何种梦魇般的可怕事情再次发生?克撒深深的检视着自己以寻求解答:在那一天,身为凡人的克撒消失了。在此时此地站立着的,是在多明纳尼亚上直到四千年后为止最为强大的存在。在这里站着的是新的克撒,一个神,一个旅法师。旅法师克撒诞生了。在克撒明白自己要对沦为废墟的多明纳尼亚负责时,克撒将他所有的注意力转向了一个字眼:复仇。非瑞克西亚人腐化了他的弟弟,并且还是一切战争的幕后策划者。带着沉重的心情,克撒明白了他的要对泰瑞西亚所负的责任,甚至是整个多明纳尼亚与整个多明尼亚。但是在他去最终偿还对泰瑞西亚所犯下的罪之前,他还有最后的一件事情要做。克撒给予了达硌士最后一个指令,要他去找到凯拉并传达一个信息。“告诉凯拉,要她别记得过去的你,而是记着你努力想去做到的那个你。”于是,克撒离开了多明纳尼亚近两千年的岁月。复仇即是他所有的生存意义。克撒的传奇开始了。克撒在宇宙四处漂泊了好些年,寻找着可以让他进入非瑞克西亚人老窝的途径。他得到了另一个旅法师Meshuvel的帮助,后者指导他如何使用新得到的能力与力量。然而,Meshuvel后来却变得非常害怕克撒的那对宝石眼睛,并想摧毁他。克撒轻松的击败了Meshuvel,甚至连他自己都觉得惊讶。克撒已经变成了现存于世的旅法师中最强大的一个。不过克撒仍然没有借此逃开他自己所犯下的罪行。克撒回到了多明纳尼亚,更准确的说是回到了喀洛斯遗迹。在那里他使用了自己新发现的旅法师之力读出了时刻在塔辛大厅上的古代文字,也就是在这里克撒与米斯拉得到了那对令人憎恨的石头。而解读出来的信息着实令克撒吃了一惊。在五千年之前,索蓝已经到达了其文明的最顶峰,但是却被非瑞克西亚人所摧毁。多明纳尼亚最强大的种族就这样被另一个空间的存在所消灭。而只有强能石和弱能石,这一对如今嵌在克撒的头颅中的动力石,才有能力将非瑞克西亚人赶出多明纳尼亚。这个信息点燃了克撒的复仇之火。他现在想到的所有事情都是如何去摧毁非瑞克西亚人的故乡,而且不计任何代价,无论是对他还是对别人而言。“我是不朽者。我将旅行于各个空间直到我找到他们的老窝,无论这段旅程有多么的漫长与艰辛,而我将象它们摧毁了我的兄弟那样完全的摧毁它们。”五十年转瞬而过。克撒在各大空间中找寻非瑞克西亚人的所在,却只得到了很小的成功。最后,在又过了一个五年后,克撒在一个遥远的空间找到了一群试图挖出一件神器的非瑞克西亚人分遣队。更糟糕的是,非瑞克西亚人正要杀死一名人类女孩。这是克撒所不能容忍的。克撒消灭了所有的非瑞克西亚人并解救了那名女孩。将她带到一个位于各个空间之中的密所之后,克撒很快发现非瑞克西亚人已经完全的改变了她,就象它们改变了米斯拉那样。这个女孩已经不是一个女孩了,她几乎变成了无性人。这个生物解释到非瑞克西亚是一个由几个不同层次的世界堆积而成的空间。整个空间被分为九层,一层一层逐渐向下延伸。女孩说她自己是一个非瑞克西亚人,是被一个被称为“地”的伟大天才手下的某人所创造出来的生物之一。在做过了一些询问之后,这名女孩·珊迦才勉强的说出了那个人的真名,因为这是一个古老的禁忌。而克撒发现那个非瑞克西亚恶魔的名字“基克斯”,正好与以前一个多明纳尼亚山神的名字相同。于是克撒开始怀疑起这个名字的真正含义,也想到了非瑞克西亚人与基克斯牧师之前的关系。在问那个女孩自己的名字后,克撒感觉到了少许的成功感。这个伪造的人类称自己为珊迦,在非瑞克西亚人中处于最低等的地位。克撒始终不相信这名女孩是出生于非瑞克西亚,但并不怀疑她所说的其它事情。他听取了她的建议并锁定了一个残存下来的非瑞克西亚转移机,这是一种能够让非瑞克西亚人到达其它世界的传送门。克撒相信那些非瑞克西亚人一定会回到这个世界以修复被击毁的传送门。他为珊迦修建了一个可供居住的房子,并花费了大量的时间去制作一个可以最终帮助他在非瑞克西亚进行战斗的龙型引擎。“复仇,珊迦。我将会为我们两个复仇。当非瑞克西亚人回来时,我将攻击它们并追着它们直到进入非瑞克西亚。”两百年过去了,而珊迦仍然活着。克撒开始认为珊迦与他一样是不朽者。他在达硌士死后的这近两百五十年的时间里从来不曾有过一个朋友,而现在他有了一个可以信任的不朽者相伴。在珊迦的呼唤下,克撒回到了当初发现珊迦的那个空间,再次看到了那些将修复传送门的非瑞克西亚人。克撒轻松的就消灭了它们,然后进入了他们的传送门。在两百五十年之后,克撒终于找到了非瑞克西亚…………而非瑞克西亚人也找到了他。不过,就算是克撒的强大精神力也无法理解他面前的这个世界。这整个空间是一个由机械与皮肉、有机物与神器混合而成的地方。当他向上凝视时,克撒看不到天空,在那里只有黑色的烟雾笼罩着。龙型引擎被脚下的烁油湖冲刷着。小鬼们以它们自己的队列呼啸而过。巨大而古老的城市近在咫尺,里面充斥着数万数亿的守卫。这时克撒总算是明白了自己的愚蠢之处。他想要摧毁非瑞克西亚,但等待着他的却是去对抗一整个充满了怪物的世界。克撒带着他改进过的龙型引擎又一次来到非瑞克西亚。非瑞克西亚人很快便展开攻击。它们成千上百的被杀死,但克撒自己的防御力量却也开始被不断的削弱。克撒想办法通过了一重天,进入了更危险的二重天。每当他进行一步,危险就会成倍增加。虽然在非瑞克西亚可能没有哪个个体可以与他的龙型引擎相匹敌,但它们有上亿人,并且都毫不畏惧死亡。克撒一口气冲到了四重天,而他的龙型引擎也几乎被完全破坏。他无法再继续进行了。这时,一个声音进入了克撒的心灵。克撒了解到任何人在那个存在面前都不过只是蝼蚁,任何一个旅法师在那个存在的面前也不过是虫子而已。克撒立刻明白自己根本没办法胜利,没有人能够与一个身处九重天就可以用精神来摧毁克撒的黑暗之神对抗。克撒知道了那个存在的名字,而那个名字令克撒陷入了疯狂之中。那个名字就是约格莫夫。克撒对非瑞克西亚的抵抗开始变得微弱,他认输了。而它们赢了,约格莫夫赢了。克撒再一次听到的声音是来自于珊迦,她正在这个黑暗的空间里尖叫着求援。不知为何,珊迦进入了非瑞克西亚并想帮助克撒。这迫使他回到了现实世界,克撒与珊迦为了接下来的四千年岁月而逃离了这个空间。懊恼于自己失败的克撒不断的受到因遇到约格莫夫而受到的精神折磨,他与珊迦在宇宙中又漂泊了很多年。两个人想试图回到多明纳尼亚,但是却发现它却将他们拒之门外。即是说这个世界不希望克撒回去。最后,珊迦开始因这种奔波的生活感到心力交瘁,将极度的渴望着想有一个可以容下她的世界。克撒与珊迦在Moag发现了一个世界,一块由纯朴的文明社会与肥沃的土地构成的大陆。珊迦用了好些天去尝试种田,开始了一种在她遇到非瑞克西亚人之后首次过上的平静日子。克撒则认识到他必须要组成一支由数亿人的军队才能与非瑞克西亚人战斗。他在与Moag人之间的交涉方面获得了一些成功,而珊迦也不想离开这样一种和平的生活。一天,珊迦发现非瑞克西亚人开始入侵Moag并确信克撒会干涉他们。而旅法师攻击并消灭了数十年非瑞克西亚人,但是他很快明白这些怪物在自己离开这个空间之前是不会远离他的。百般无奈之下的克撒只有解释到这个大陆已经不再安全,必须得要离开。于是克撒与珊迦只有离开Moag再次漂泊于宇宙之中。过了一段时间,他们再次被非瑞克西亚人攻击,而这次的敌人比上次更加的危险。在经过了这样一次遭遇后,克撒几乎被另一轮的精神折磨所杀。珊迦迫使他回到现实世界中,然后这两个虚弱的同伴再起启程离开。克撒所记得的下一件事,就是他来到了一个和平与秩序的地方。撒拉女士以宽广的臂膀迎接了他,并说到是她使用了她的旅法师之力创造了这个空间与它的住民。这个空间完全由白色法术力构成,是一个极度纯净的世界。它就象阿基夫一样是一个盛产白色法术力的区域,克撒被邀请进入这个充满着天使与光芒的国度。而珊迦却没有,虽然在撒拉的国度中没有处死一词,但珊迦却因为她的黑色法术力本质而遭到了放逐。克撒花了十年时间来治疗他的伤势,但他的精神却仍然支离破碎。最后,珊迦设法来到了撒拉的密室,并要求克撒离开这个空间并聚集起他的军队。不管怎么说,克撒似乎不再想去在非瑞克西亚人手中拯救他的故乡。取而代之的是,他仅仅希望自己可以与撒拉与她的天使们一起生活在这些几近完美的世界中。珊迦落入了绝望的深渊,她拿出了自己的心。在仔细观察之后,克撒发现珊迦那的心并非是有机体,而是一个神器心石。这个部件让约格莫夫能够在非瑞克西亚的中任何地方任意的控制珊迦。珊迦说道如果克撒不离开这里,她将打碎自己的心石,永远终结她自己的永恒生命。不等克撒惊讶于珊迦古怪的行为,非瑞克西亚人在这时发动了攻击。他们追,踪着克撒的气味来到了撒拉的国度,而他们强烈的黑色法术力本质对撒拉的国度造成了十分可怕的后果。撒拉希望克撒帮助她保护她的家园。但克撒却平静的拒绝了,然后他带着深重的心情被珊迦拖离了撒拉的国度。克撒与珊迦再次于各个空间中逃窜,最后他们来到了一个由旅法师组成的聚集地。克撒向这些旅法师打听关于非瑞克西亚人的情报,但却只得到了有限的信息。突然间,一个流浪的旅法师发动了攻击并差点导致了珊迦的死亡。在她完全昏迷了两年后,克撒对她说明了自己最新的计划。克撒研究了一个名为时界点的空间,那可能是现今存在的最古老的空间。在那里,他询问到了关于非瑞克西亚人与索蓝文明灭亡的关系以及他们对于多明纳尼亚的企图。克撒与珊迦发现在时界点并没有多少人口,这个空间只居住着凡人。克撒找到了与非瑞克西亚有关的一部分消息,然后他准备离开时界点。在他离开之前,时界点的居民中最年长者告诉克撒这个空间无法在克撒再次到来时保护他不受到当地居然的攻击。他们告诉他另一个旅法师,妃雅丽兹曾为了回到多明纳尼亚以她所谓的正义借口造成过一次重大的破坏。烦恼于没有学到更多的知识的克撒,带着珊迦离开了时界点。接着,在3200年之后,克撒最终再次立足于多明纳尼亚之上。他为自己与珊迦建造了一个小屋,但很快将自己封闭在了孤独之中。克撒的精神状态变得恶化,他开始对着鬼魂说话并不断的呼唤着他兄弟的名字。珊迦于不久后离开,认为克撒最后会完全丧失掉他的心智。一个月之后,珊迦带着一个古怪的人回来了。克撒不满于珊迦将一个陌生人带到他的隐匿小屋处。但当他仔细注视那个陌生的人的真面目后,他的状态改变了。米斯拉。在过了那么多年后,刚好与他年轻时一模一样的米斯拉就站在那里,靠着一名非瑞克西亚潜藏秘探。克撒愤怒的攻击着,几乎杀死了米斯拉。珊迦对着克撒发出尖叫,质问他为什么要如此做。克撒仅回答道他愤怒的是在这个米斯拉之后他还要在将来的岁月中遇到多少个米斯拉。珊迦最后说服克撒,让他相信这是唯一的一个米斯拉,这次他是从死亡中回来了。克撒与米斯拉在晚上开始了第一次谈话,比较着他们各自的神器杰作以及聊着未来的非瑞克西亚大侵攻。在过了很少的几个月后,米斯拉与珊迦成为了一对情侣,而克撒则首次开始制作对抗非瑞克西亚人的武器。潜藏密探四处都是,而他们将自己隐藏在当时多明纳尼亚最强大的一个国家之中。一天,当米斯拉与珊迦在伊芬宾卡中为探听与非瑞克西亚人有关的消息而奔波时,一个陌生人将克撒邀到了他的藏匿处。这个人,看起来有四十多岁,并声称自己是克撒的后代,他的名字是法师Jodah。克撒几乎无法相信他的话语,但是Jodah只希望告诉克撒在他离开多明纳尼亚这么多年后到底发生了什么事情。克撒专注于倾听Jodah所说的话,而对他与非瑞克西亚人的遭遇更加的感兴趣。很显然,在被从多元宇宙中被分隔开的多明纳尼亚自己产生的禁区的被破坏不仅让克撒回了到他的故土,它还能让非瑞克西亚人开始进行他们的入侵。在他们进行了长时间的谈论之后,Jodah离开了克撒。最后,克撒的机械宣告完工。这些微小的神器蜘蛛将会分散到多明纳尼亚的各个国家之中。当微光之月的光芒照射到它们身上时,它们将发出一种人类无法查觉到的声音,但这对非瑞克西亚人来说是相当致命的。借着这些装置,他就能够阻止非瑞克西亚潜藏密探渗透入多明纳尼亚的各个国家之中。米斯拉与珊迦不久便回来,并带来了新的消息。伊芬宾卡几乎完全被非瑞克西亚人所掌控。如果克撒想阻止他们去控制更强大的国家,就必须要马上行动。克撒、米斯拉还有珊迦在一起开始将克撒的发明散布到城市的各个角落。之后,克撒让米斯拉与珊迦离开以作休息。之后克撒听到珊迦用一个古老的神器在呼唤他,很快他便发现米斯拉和珊迦正飞行在悲叹之海上。他们的位置很奇怪的接近于喀洛斯,一个克撒不希望自己的兄弟待在附近的地方。在几星期内,克撒、米斯拉以及珊迦将克撒的蜘蛛安置到宾卡城,伊芬宾卡之首都的街头巷尾。克撒虽然忙于这个任务,但却没有去疏忽其他的感觉。非瑞克西亚人现在充斥着宾卡城,而一个特别强大的非瑞克西亚人正待在某处。克撒找到了那个非瑞克西亚人,就在他快要杀死米斯拉与珊迦的那一瞬间。这个非瑞克西亚人转向克撒,说自己会在喀洛斯等待着克撒的到来。在向克撒询问了这个生物的本质之后,珊迦确定他就是基克斯,匿形者手下那个最强大的恶魔。克撒、珊迦还有米斯拉来到了喀洛斯找到了久候的基克斯。两位宿敌之间开始了他们长时间的决斗,而克撒惊讶到这个生物居然是如此的难以应付。这场战斗至少持续了数个小时,而基克斯渐渐占据了上风。不过,就在基克斯将要摧毁克撒之时,珊迦与米斯拉冲了过来。心烦意乱的基克斯瞬间便杀害了珊迦和米斯拉,而在下一个瞬间,克撒也消灭了这个古老的约格莫夫魔判官。在之后的三千年时间里,克撒一直都是孤身一人。而最后他总算发现了自己的错误。因为他发现似乎每个接近他的人都死了。米斯拉绝对不会遇到这种事,他在很久以前就已经在亚格斯死去了。而珊迦害怕克撒陷入疯狂之中,于是找了一个名叫瑞特比的奴隶来帮助她说服克撒以采取行动。而现在,珊迦已经逝去。但是她的心仍然活着。克撒不能坐等非瑞克西亚人来侵占他的故乡。他要构筑起一股空前绝后的巨大防御力量。握着珊迦的心,他转向离开了喀洛斯。而在他离开之前,写在墙上的一些字引起了他的注意。这些古老的索蓝方言叙说着曾经身为医者的约格莫夫是如何以其之意腐化并扭曲索蓝帝国的。吃惊不已的克撒继续向下读,发现约格莫夫利用另一个旅法师的力量完全得到了另一个空间,也就是非瑞克西亚,并用他的阴谋创造了另一个种族,非瑞克西亚人。克撒开始产生质疑。原来索蓝人根本没有消灭非瑞克西亚人,因为他们本身就变成了非瑞克西亚人。只有强能石和弱能石,这些注入了索蓝的天才格拉西安之本质的物体,才能够将他的古老敌人从多明纳尼亚放逐出去。这个发现驱使着克撒更好的完善了他的防御并拯救了他的故土。克撒将珊迦的忠告应用到这场活动之中。他将创造一个军队来与既然到来的非瑞克西亚大侵攻作战。他将创造成百万的神器生物来与非瑞克西亚的神器作战。他将纵横多明纳尼亚,征集所有的种族在未来的战争中为求生存而战。不过他必须要从头做起。克撒旅行到了一个由持续不断的风暴与惊涛骇浪包围着的偏远岛屿。克撒在这个称为陶拉里亚的岛上建立起一座法师学院,并为它命名为陶拉里亚大学院。而成立这个学院的还有一个有着强大力量的法师。巴林,一个冰雪时代的幸存者,将会成为克撒在之后的岁月中良心的写照,他会不断的乞求克撒,想令他的计划顾虑到道德这一方面。克撒明白为了对抗非瑞克西亚人,他必须要有一张王牌藏在手中。这场工事将要花费数百年的时间,甚至更多,但是它最终将服务于拯救多明纳尼亚。克撒开始建造一系列强大的神器,他将它们称为远古遗产。尽管这些神器各自本身就非常强大,但若将它们集结到一起则将会变得更加超越,甚至可以摧毁掉约格莫夫。而为了完成这个,克撒明白他将需要有一个继承人能够在大侵攻到来之前把它们拿到手。他需要一个继承者,而多明纳尼亚需要一个英雄。为了完成这个英雄,克撒开始进行他的血脉实验,培育并杂交多明纳尼亚上的不同种族,以最终产生出一个具备拯救整个世界必需之索质的存在。“答案再也藏不了多久了。”不过,目前这些计划先得要搁在一边。克撒需要的仅是去建造神奇的新型神器,以及妥当的运用它们。化名为马兹拉的克撒指导着学生们使用这些神器,而巴林则更多的集中于魔法方面的教学。克撒开始对时间旅行进行实验,相信如果他能够把一些东西送回过去的时光,他就可以在约格莫夫腐化索蓝帝国之前摧毁他。他发现只有金属才能够安然通过时空信道,而在它们当中银是佼佼者。于是,克撒的远古遗产的下一个部分被确定为一个银魔像,他可以经受得起在进行时间旅行时所遇到的危险。克撒开始设计卡恩,他第一个制造的智慧机械。为了达成这一点,他将珊迦的心放入了卡恩的核心之中,让卡恩不仅能够学习与思考,还能适应环境与进化。当卡恩完成后,克撒试着让他回到过去,但只获得了极小的成功。克撒只能够让卡恩返回很短的几天前而已,并且每次的新成功都会给岛屿带来一定的灾难。在每次进行时间实验后,暂时的能源波动就会席卷学院,令在岛上的居民产生不适、疾病甚至死亡。在一次损失惨重的实验后,大多数学生与教师的生命都被夺去,同时也摧毁了学院本身。克撒自己对此等灾难却毫无想法,而之后他告诉卡恩他已经借助时间到退阻止了非瑞克西亚人对学院的一次入侵行动。虽然非瑞克西亚人的进攻还没有开始就被阻止,但克撒与巴林两个对此却完全没有头绪。当然,他们不会去怀疑自己的眼睛。克撒、巴林、卡恩以及一部分教师与学生成为这场陶拉里亚大灾难的唯一幸存者。克撒、巴林以及卡恩与一小队学生与教师在数年后回到了陶拉里亚。在那里,他们发现了尤依拉,一个本以为在灾难中遇难的极有前途的学生。她解释到陶拉里亚已经被时间裂缝所分割,岛上各个不同的地方的时间变得比世界上的时间更快或更慢。对陶拉里亚上的一些人来说,灾难过去仅仅只是数秒钟的事情。而对另一些人来说,时间则似乎已经流逝了成千上万年。尤依拉希望克撒去帮助这些人来偿还他对陶拉里亚上的人所犯下的罪行。于是克撒开始建造另一个学院,而这一些比先前那个还要宏大。不幸的是,一道黑影掩盖到了再生的陶拉里亚岛上。一些试图攻击的非瑞克西亚人被陷入了快时区中。他们由格瑞克,一个非瑞克西亚潜藏密探所领导,这个人曾经潜入过原先的学院。更糟糕的是,随着陶拉里亚上每经过一天,在非瑞克西亚人所待的裂缝峡谷就要过上好几天。最终,他们将设法逃出他们的囚笼并完全毁灭陶拉里亚。为此,克撒与巴林构筑他们的防御力量,不仅是为了非瑞克西亚人,也是为了抵抗格瑞克自己的非瑞克西亚。在新的陶拉里亚大学院完成之后,所有的事情似乎恢复了常态。克撒想办法安排了一部分保卫试图去破坏非瑞克西亚峡谷。克撒本人带头冲在最前面,但是却相当不幸的失败了。尤依拉在攻击中受到了重创,不过其健康还是可以慢慢恢复。克撒试着去完成他与尤依拉的约定来偿还自己在陶拉里亚大灾难上所犯的错误。他开始想办法去找寻一些隐入慢时区的居民。任何无机物都可以在裂缝中安然无恙的度过,但是有机的生物却会很快死亡。甚至连卡恩都会因此而死。在调查了陶拉里亚中的奇怪水源(它似乎可以成为抵抗死亡的良药)后,克撒与同伴感受到了成功。泰菲力,一个非常能干的年轻法师,被从他的时间囚笼中解救出来,而且仍然和灾难发生之时一样年轻。很快,其他的学生与教师将会慢慢的都被救出来。克撒再次攻击了非瑞克西亚人所在的裂缝,这次他带上了更加先加的机械。克撒打开了时间裂缝,开始了他的攻击,但很快被击败并被非瑞克西亚人所俘获。卡恩想办法救出了他的主人,而克撒很快发现了他的另一个错误。在攻击失败时,他那些被摧毁的扑翼机让非瑞克西亚人学到了他的动力石技术。有了这些新科技,非瑞克西亚人将会很快令他们的军团离开裂缝进攻学院。无奈之下的克撒只有专注于将非瑞克西亚人继续困在时间裂缝之中,他在这上面花费的注意力已经超过了对真正的非瑞克西亚大侵攻的兴趣了。克撒将自己的真实身分告诉了卡恩,泰菲力,尤依拉以及另一个被选中的学生,然后离开了学院让它自求生路。“是的,我要对陶拉里亚的灾难负上责任,但我也要为一个天使之国的逐渐崩溃、为世界带来长时间的冰雪时代、亚格斯的毁灭、以及将邪恶引入这个世界负责。”他旅行到一个充满敌意的火山岛屿西瓦,在那里他与拥有着古老的索蓝法术力钻探机的凡尔西诺统治者会面。在使尽威逼利诱联合了凡尔西诺与鬼怪们之后,克撒有了一个惊人的发现。索蓝人曾利用凡尔西诺与鬼怪们来为索蓝法术力钻探机工作。这件事情让克撒认识到他必须将多明纳尼亚上的种族完全联合起来才能在快要到来的战争之中获得胜利。不过,他必须要先令法术力钻探机投入使用。“每个钻探机里的设备,都明显地受到索蓝文明的影响。所有的魔法力对他们而言都是一样的;不论是从盘石或是流水,创生或是死灭。你能想象那般谐整地景象吗?”在钻探机工作了一段岁月之后,克撒建立了一个稳定的动力石工厂。在得到这些稀有的资源之后,再也没有什么能够阻止他的天才构想了。他也在一种新型的金属上有了惊人的发现,一个由索蓝金属构成的物体,比如说卡恩,会在其原来的基础上渐渐成长。他利用这些发现应用到一系列关于一艘能够结合他的远古遗产的飞船的计划上。这艘船,在给合了远古遗产与它的人类拥有者,也就是克撒最后的继承人时,将会成为拯救多明纳尼亚的关键。但这是一个令人沮丧的任务,因为这样一件东西需要几近无限的能量,以及相当长的时间来获得有利的成就。这时,陶拉里亚学院的居民们受到了格瑞克的奴才们不间断的攻击。克撒为了创造他的飞空船舰,只有眼睁睁的看着他的的学院被慢慢侵占。为了完成他的远古遗产,他来到了亚维玛雅,这是一座拥有智能的古老森林。在那里,他遇到了穆塔尼,一个有着无限力量与智慧的玛洛术士。不过,克撒的闯入并没有受到欢迎。亚维玛雅不满于克撒以前在访问亚格斯时所做出的事情,于是借此机会将克撒陷入了重重树木的包围之中。又过了几年,陶拉里亚仍然遭受着格瑞克的袭击。然而克撒却不慎被穆塔尼的精神侵入,在自己良心的苛责下原地逗留。当巴林在克撒那在陶拉里亚的家使出魔法召唤时,终于从亚维玛雅的禁锢中逃了出来。克撒无望的看着无助的陶拉里亚,除非他能带去救兵。旅法师克撒从西瓦带着一群由凡尔西诺、鬼怪以及龙战士组成的军队回到了陶拉里亚。当陶拉里亚不再会有被完全占领的威胁后,克撒渗透入格瑞克的城堡发动了攻势。格瑞克,现在改名为克里格,花费了很短的时间来攻击克撒。克撒虽然可以在瞬间杀死克里格,但克里格却用克撒自己制造的机械鸟来攻击克撒,这完全出乎了克撒的意料之外。最后,穆塔尼在精神上帮助克撒并与他联合到一起,两个神一般的存在完全的消灭了克里格与他的要塞。穆塔尼又帮助克撒将他的军队传送到亚维玛雅,彻底终结了非瑞克西亚人在此处的侵略活动。现在克撒不再需要担心克里格与他的怪物,他将可以全神贯注于完成他的远古遗产。西瓦与亚维玛雅的人民明白了克撒的担心是正确的,于是他们发誓将会在非瑞克西亚人的大侵攻中为其效力。陶拉里亚将提供飞船所需的神器部件,西瓦将供应动力石来作为驱动能源,而现在的亚维玛雅则作出它自己的贡献。一个巨大的种子从亚维玛雅之心,这棵数千英尺高的巨楼上掉落下来。克撒在这个种子之中注入魔法与神器,索蓝水晶以及索蓝金属,直到它最后变为类似于飞船的外形。克撒为这艘船命名为晴空号,而它与远古遗产还有未来的主人一起将永远的摧毁约格莫夫。但是为了成就这个目标,晴空号需要有能力进行空间传送。而作为晴空号动力源的索蓝水晶需要注入庞大的法术力能量来实现这项功能。这些法术力需要破坏一整个空间,虽然借此可以拯救多明纳尼亚,但克撒仍为此有些悔恨。不论如何,克撒很快的想起了撒拉的国度,一个注定要毁灭的人造空间。如果克撒能够说服撒拉在这件事上帮助他,他将能够为晴空号提供能源,并也许会在将来的战争中得到了一个新的盟友。克撒传送到了撒拉的国度,发现这里在他离开之后变得更加的糟糕。非瑞克西亚人已经被赶出这个空间,但是黑色法术力已经永远的沾污了这里。更坏的是,撒拉女士在目睹了她的天堂变成地狱后离开了这里。现在代替她进行统治的是蕾荻安女士,一个使用暴力政权屠杀了成千上万名人类与天使的大天使。克撒与蕾荻安进行了会谈,他注意到蕾荻安身边的首席顾问高里格,实际上也是一名非瑞克西亚潜藏秘探。然而,蕾荻安在撒拉离去之后已经被逼到了疯狂的边缘。蕾荻安指责克撒与非瑞克西亚人是同谋并发誓要让他死在这撒拉的国度之中。“不要象对待你的神器那样对待你的人民,蕾荻安。让他们走,而他们会活下来;把他们关在这里,只会让他们死去。”克撒回到了多明纳尼亚,告诉了巴林关于蕾荻安的要求。他通知巴林去集结西瓦与陶拉里亚的军队去侵入撒拉国度并解放蕾荻安手中的民众。同时,克撒多次回到撒拉国度以解放那些被蕾荻安视为非瑞克西亚人的逃难者。蕾荻安注意到了克撒的动向并开始集结她自己的势力。看起来似乎在大侵攻之前的另一场战争就要爆发。克撒几乎用尽了全部的力量来传送晴空号与其他的防御力量来到撒拉国度。入侵者们很快就受到了蕾荻安手下天使们的反抗,而克撒最终得以直接面对蕾荻安并与之作战。蕾荻安立刻就攻向克撒。在自己处于虚弱的状态下,克撒就快要被蕾荻安击倒,而西瓦巨龙格里达里迦借着她的牺牲来保护了克撒的生命。然而还没有得到恢复的克撒很快被蕾荻安压制,并且被她把眼中的强能石与弱能石拨了出来。但是愚蠢的她竟然想将这两块动力石半片合为一体。而结果就是产生了剧烈的爆炸摧毁了蕾荻安与撒拉的密室,并完全恢复了克撒的力量。在蕾荻安军队的混乱之下,克撒将难民们尽可能的装上晴空号然后将这个崩溃中的人造空间的能量全部的注入到了索蓝水晶之中。撒拉国度就这样永远的被摧毁了,但它的能量将会在大侵攻中保护多明纳尼亚。克撒与他的军队作了短暂的休息便回到了陶拉里亚。克里格已经被击败。撒拉国度的大多数居民也已获救。远古遗产几近完成。泰菲力成为了每一个法师都梦寐以求的旅法师。克撒花费了短暂的平静时光来将远古遗产的各个部件散布到各处。因为现在非瑞克西亚人已经回到了多明纳尼亚,他很担心远古遗产的能量会令把他们吸引到陶拉里亚来。克撒最后把远古遗产分散到了多明纳尼亚以及玛凯迪亚各处,后者是一个与他的故乡很相似的国度。现在,克撒的计划差不多已经完成。他仅剩下一件计划没有完工。宾纳里亚平原的血脉成果将会产生他所期待的伟大继承者。克撒的工作还过没有结束。非瑞克西亚大侵攻将在将来的一百年之内发动,而克撒不能座等胜利的到来。克撒已经完成了远古遗产,而他现在还要完成他自己的命运。在接下来的历史中发生了两件事情,但对于来说克撒都是既让人惊讶又让人好奇的麻烦事。为了创造另一个更强大的龙型引擎,克撒从古代达硌士的设计中获得了灵感。为此,他必须要检查一条几近完美的巨龙的各个部分。在使用自己那强大魔法召唤来一条之后,克撒花了数个小时来进行检查直到他最终放弃。那条巨龙认为它是一个有智慧的魔法生物,而不情愿被拿去当作复仇的工具。后来,巨龙设法说服克撒让它变得更强,而克撒可以借助它的战斗本领来获得理多的学识。克撒同意了,将这只强大的巨龙释放到了出去。随后的岁月中,巨龙多次回到陶拉里亚,而它每次都苛求更多的力量。最终,巨龙成功的让克撒同意给予它一次自由行动的时间,而它立刻利用这个机会永远的逃出了克撒的掌控。克撒对巴林说到随着时间的不断流逝,他们将会不断的遇到存在于多明纳尼亚上的各种怪物。另一个奇怪的传说则是关于克撒与另一条龙对抗的故事,这条巨龙是人鱼们的守护者。克撒捕获了巨龙的蛋以进行解剖研究,很快就引来了龙妈妈的愤怒。克撒与龙妈妈之间作了一个协定。为了对她儿子的牺牲进行偿还,克撒将改进他的血脉守护者们以让他们拥有水下呼吸的能力,并可以借此来在非瑞克西亚大侵攻中帮助她的人鱼王国。龙妈妈为克撒的计划给予了一个魔法印记,同意了他的交易。好不容易过了数百年后,克撒的血脉实验开始展现出成果。克撒不再对巴林隐晦他的主要计划,而后者则对这个计划的不人道大为失望。为了拯救多明纳尼亚,克撒抛弃了他的道德,永远的改变了多明纳尼亚的各个种族。“我们的新军队与远古遗产的继承者必须要进行育种。”克撒的试验品们开始展现出改良了的肌肉系统与战斗本领,但他们却非常的缺乏智力。更糟的是,巴林注意到在他们出生时会发现某些令人震惊的变异。过于粗壮与高比率的缺乏肢体很快成为克撒的血脉实验者们的大多数结局。许多岛屿上的学院与学生在见证了克撒的这些恐怖的作为后想一走了之。虽然克撒并不允许他们离开他的学陆军,但他也无法去对自己以前的学生进行禁锢。除了这件不幸的事情之外,陶拉里亚之上还残留着的生命也开始快步调的退出它曾经的舞台。巴林选择了这个时机与大学院长蕾安结婚。然而,这场婚姻很快的就被披上了一层阴影。蕾安是一名陶拉里亚人,因此她也很有可能是血脉实验的成果之一。因为克撒则一如即往的利用着他身边的每件事物。尽管在历史上于此处有着很多的不同记录,但克撒应该完全没有可能会为了给巴林一个完美的妻子去设计蕾安。“如果我们不能用光它,那么就再用一次。”克撒这时开始注意到卡恩的言行出现了一个问题。在经过了一段长时间的岁月后,卡恩的感情皮质开始慢慢恶化。克撒认为最好是删掉卡恩的记忆,让这个银魔像一次只能保留四十年之内值得去记忆的事情。在对卡恩进行了改良之后,非瑞克西亚人再次攻击了克撒。约格莫夫设计了一种更新更致命的非瑞克西亚人,它们甚至有能力致旅法师致于死地。在克里克的手中得到了大幅改进后,这些被称为绝灭兽的存在开始了它们无情的追杀。克撒被迫离开学院,仅仅只是回来访问了很少的几次。在一次象这样的访问中,巴林告诉克撒在遥远的凯尔顿所发生的事情。迦沙,一个无德的背逃学徒仍然继续着血脉实验,而逃到凯尔顿的他将凯尔顿的血统几乎进行了完全的改进。很快,多明纳尼亚将不再惧怕非瑞克西亚人来屠杀他们。然而,凯尔顿的怒火就象一阵红色波浪般撞击着多明纳尼亚的文明社会。但是,克撒却禁止巴林去阻止迦沙的工作。因为迦沙做了一些令巴林无法忍受的事情:利用血脉工程来发挥他们所有的潜力,而不去计较代价。巴林还告诉了克撒另一件事情,就是关于泰恩的辞职,这是克撒身边的一位卓越学者。泰恩已经受够了克撒的血脉计划,他避开了克撒的疯狂站到了岛上的反对派那一边。克撒同意了泰恩的离去,并相信这些陶拉里亚上的学者们会在过一段时间后再次回来。克撒再一次被迫离开学院,以避开绝灭兽的攻击。他旅行到了宾纳尼亚的平原上,在那里血脉计划总算开始展现一些有意义的成果。宾纳里亚在每一年都由不同的氏族来掌权。而卡帕轩氏族则给克撒的计划带来了重大的成功预兆。克撒再次使用了化名马兹拉,将希望寄托于这个氏族并在多次口角中保证了它的和平。通过这个协议,一个婚姻有了结果,而借着这个婚姻,另一代血脉成品将要出生。在这样一次会谈中,克撒允许卡恩成为贾夫瑞·卡帕轩与蜜儿·奥图维之间婚礼的嫁妆的一部分。不用说,卡帕轩与奥图维氏族如同克撒所希望的那样接受了这场联姻。在旅行到伊芬宾卡时,克撒再次受到了攻击。更糟的是,这些绝灭兽注意到了凯尔顿与宾纳里亚,并很快产生了极大的兴趣。在杀死这些绝灭兽后,克撒发现他小不心摧毁了自己在许多年前与珊迦以及瑞特比曾经居住过的那座小屋。这些克撒过往生活的余灰一直都存在于此,而现在他为这口棺材钉上了最后的钉子。克撒开始与入侵宾纳里亚的非瑞克西亚人作战,但却来不及去拯救凯尔顿。几乎所有迦沙的血脉产物都被消灭了。克罗格,一个与很久以前死掉的基克斯有着相当水准的非瑞克西亚恶魔亲自的监视着这次作战。在这层阴影散发出黑暗的征兆中,非瑞克西亚已经完全了解了克撒的血脉计划。这时,克撒还听到了非瑞克西亚人会同时攻击宾纳里亚与亚维玛雅的谣言。过了一些年头,一些新品种的绝灭兽攻击了克撒。在又一次面对这些怪物之后,克撒开始发现这些东西在被击败之后会变得越来越强。新的绝灭兽们几乎杀死这位四千岁的老旅法师。更坏的是,在被击败后,它们借着一个时空信通逃走了。克撒追踪着这些怪物来到了瑞斯空间。瑞斯是一个环境只比非瑞克西亚要强一点的可怕地方。液石的波涛在克撒的脚下不断的拍打着。在远处的一座巨大火山上,坐落着瑞斯的天罗城塞,格罗克的权力象征之物。虽然现在这位瑞斯最可怕的存在并不在里面,但他很快就会回来。天罗城塞仅是为了增加液石的产量而存在,以让它们以极其危险的速度扩张整个瑞斯的空间边界。一旦边界不再能够容纳下这些液石,整个空间就会吞掉它附近的其它空间。这就是约格莫夫的主要计划,让瑞斯不断的扩张并最终覆盖整个多明纳尼亚。如此黑暗的现实似乎不存在任何希望的曙光。这时,莱娜--一个代表索陶里的幽灵出现并向克撒致意。莱娜的同胞们被关在了位于瑞斯与多明纳尼亚的夹缝空间之中,而只能以鬼魂般的外形存在于物质世界里。莱娜发誓她的人民将会反抗非瑞克西亚,而如果克撒能够帮助他们从那地狱世界中解脱出来的话,索陶里人将会尽可能的帮助他。克撒回到多明纳尼亚,冷静的思考着他见到的场景。他在宾纳里亚的血脉试验品几乎都被摧毁了。只剩下一个小男孩,杰拉尔德·卡帕轩,他是整个多明纳尼亚最后的救世主。卡恩将这婴孩保护起来,逃向了杰拉姆的荒野地区。在这段时期内,克撒与非瑞克西亚这对立的两方,都在抓紧时间做他们的最终准备。克撒的血脉计划表面上失败了,而非瑞克西亚的瑞斯也正在渐渐覆盖过来。克撒设法制造了一批几百万人的仿索蓝军队,他们比普通人要强上好几倍。而非瑞克西亚也花数十倍的时间去改良他们的设计以与仿索蓝人相匹敌。在战争既然到来之际,克撒解除了陶拉里亚除必需之外的所有防御力量。关于时间的学习与研究已经结束了,大侵攻将会在近十年内启动。在他隐藏于最终防线的这几年宝贵的时光里,克撒将他的远古遗产散布到了世界各地。其中一些被他放在多明纳尼亚,其存放地点只有他真正的继承者才能够识别得出来。另一些强大的神器则被他放置在玛凯迪亚,一个空间坐标领近于瑞斯的空间。这些神器曾一度是瑞莫斯--克撒于四千年前发现的那台龙型引擎的一部分,它们虽然不是由克撒设计制造出来,但却能够成为击倒约格莫夫的利器。另外还有一件神器,它的功用在于让晴空号飞得更快,克撒将它隐藏于瑞斯之中,希望能借此尽可能长的转移非瑞克西亚的监视网。然后克撒将晴空号,他长久一生中最高的杰作传送到杰姆拉,以更好的保护她。在4205年,克撒恐惧的发现,晴空号失踪了。那位血脉计划最后的幸存者杰拉尔德·卡帕轩将她开到了别的空间,以援救这艘飞空船舰现任的般长·西赛。克撒猜出一定是非瑞克西亚的傀儡·瓦拉斯绑走了西赛。当克撒冲进瑞斯时,正好看到晴空号正被瓦拉斯的私人旗舰掠夺者号所追赶,几乎就被它摧毁。与莱娜一起,克撒试法打开了一个沉睡了很久的,通向玛凯迪亚的空间传送门。克撒希望杰拉尔德能在非瑞克西亚大侵攻发动之前在那里找到远古遗产的最后一个部件。克撒回到多明纳尼亚时发现杰姆拉正被迫于凯尔顿人交战。在派遣了巴林与蕾安之后,克撒不得不将自己的精力全部集中到最后的战争准备之上,直到数个月后巴林独自归来为止。蕾安被一个名为格立尔的凯尔顿变形兽所杀。巴林向克撒质问着妻子的死,认为如果他能够向提供更多陶拉里亚里的那些强大神器生物,凯尔顿人的侵略根本不会持续那么久。然后,晴空号集齐所有的远古遗产回到了多明纳尼亚。自从她被克撒带入撒拉圣域以来的这段时间内变得更加的强大。而这时,恐怖的事物来临了,尚不等晴空号的引擎冷却下来,非瑞克西亚的终极侵攻开始了。“我的古老敌人,他正在凝视着我。我知道这一天很快就会到来。”三个庞大的空间传送门在宾纳里亚上空打开,而瘟疫船与巡洋舰也从中倾巢而出。虽然晴空号设法击毁了两个传送门,但她的动力却不是无限的。于是克撒派出了他的猎鹰引擎,外加巴林投入战斗。他们总算是成功的关上了第三个传送门,但其它的门却很快再度出现。如果这两人想保护宾纳里亚,就必须要拿出更好的对策。巴林留在了宾纳里亚维持防线,而克撒则去执行一项不太可靠的任务。“这是一场不计代价的战斗,赌注高到无法想像。”在将自己化身为一个盲先知后,克撒花了很短的时间就接触到了杰拉尔德·卡帕轩。宾纳里亚的护卫很快的就逮捕了杰拉尔德与他的船员们取回晴空号,因为在这样一个和平的城市中,这件武器
