The Last Boxes were created by the Gnomes and given to the Fraerlings as part of the Great Project.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Last Box is a three-by-three foot cube containing an infinite pocket dimension filled with a multitude of rooms with countless puzzles.[1] While each Last Box is different, solving the puzzles unlock magic and technology.[2] Described as "homework across the aeons," the Gnomes gifted the Last Boxes to the Fraerlings to give them an edge over the Tallfolk.[3] Thanks to them, Fraerlings are the most magically and technologically advanced species in the world. Fraerling cities with a Last Box are referred to as "First Founding."[2]
Secretly, the Last Boxes were also a contingency against the dead gods. Each Last Box contains a room of nothingness that can imprison a god, completely cutting them off from the outside world. The Last Box then teleports itself to another dimension where it can't be found.[4]
The Last Boxes are surrounded by layers of protection made by the Fraerlings to ensure they would not fall into enemy hands. They are held in isolated, secure rooms with the best protections they could make that could survive Tier 7 and perhaps Tier 8 spells, and even safeguards to deny them from anyone purge them. Each First Founding city has made their room differently.[5]
Properties[edit | edit source]
The Last Boxes are indestructible and unaffected by Skills. They also can't be moved unless very specific steps are taken. The dimensional magic is Fae in origin, which they taught to the Gnomes. Each Last Box is different from each other.
The puzzles vary, some of which are ciphers, pictograms, or written in invisible ink.[1]
