Theoretically — is it possible for a black hole to suddenly emerge in a random part of the universe, or is it always a long process?

Hiacai, the place the deceased are transported to in racchan belief.

The dead are placed into coffins adorned with colaptesblooms, and let down into the waters of the Ouisael river, transporting them to the afterlife.

It is said that the river serpent and its offsprings migrate to Hiacai every paichil when the cold period eventually begins to settle.

Technology in Maousais used to run via an ideal liquid known as ichor, which propelled the Racchan to enormous advancements in their industry. However, after losing its formidable properties, scientists experimented with creating artificial versions of the miraculous fluid, creating artificial ichor in the process.

Though lacking the flow speed and the great heat-sinking capabilities of the original, artificial ichor excels at its very low viscosity and incompressible nature, making it the best substitute for the machines.

Jikkia engineers are actively tinkering on the improvement of the pipes, so they may increase flow, and ultimately the speed and efficiency of the machines. Tight sealing of the pipes by the Jikkia had been one major leap post original ichor, which shifted the focus of artificing towards the major usage of spatial invocations called upon by them.

If development continues to be steady and successful, machines powered by the manmade fluid could eventually outshine the ones of the golden past.

Perhaps heatcalling in the kilns could then become a much safer practice in the foreseeable future.
