" A thousand years have come and gone But time has passed me by Stars stopped in the sky Frozen in an everlasting Waiting for the world to end | ==== Xanadu ==== | ||
As explained at the etymology paragraph, was the city founded by the great Santana. It is debatable weather this person was a man or a woman. Some say that Santana might have been a saint (Saint Anna). Santana was believed to be the first immortal man, the first who found Xanadu. But since Xanadu was not reachable for everyone he pledged to make his own Xanadu, his own paradise on earth. The only difference was that the Xanadu on earth won't have immortal men. But since he hated his immortality he thought it would make a greater paradise. The people believe in this story, because they had found ancient letters, stating the story of Santana, and what people believe his own notes. With advanced technology they even found that the different notes they have found are from different era's. Meaning that this man, would have at least lived a couple of thousand years. In the first notes it seems like he is on a great quest to find Xanadu. To seek the sacred river Alph, to walk the caves of ice, to break his fast on honey dew and drink the milk of paradise.<blockquote>" I had heard the whispered tales of immortality. The deepest mystery. From an ancient book, I took a clue.</blockquote><blockquote>I scaled the frozen mountain tops of eastern lands unknown. Time and man alone, searching for the lost - Xanadu</blockquote><blockquote>To stand within the pleasure dome, Decreed by Kubla Khan. To taste anew the fruits of life. The last immortal man.</blockquote><blockquote>To find the sacred river Alph, To walk the caves of ice, Oh, I will dine on honey dew And drink the mik of paradise"</blockquote>This first note seems to be before he has found anything. He is still in search for it but he is on the right track. The next note they had found goes as following:<blockquote>" A thousand years have come and gone, But time has passed me by Stars stopped in the sky.</blockquote><blockquote>Frozen in an everlasting view. Waiting for the world to end, weary of the night, praying for the light.</blockquote><blockquote>Prison of the lost - Xanadu. Held withing the pleasure Dome Decreed by</blockquote><blockquote>Kubla Khan. To taste my bitter triumph, as a mad immortal man. Nevermore shall I return,</blockquote><blockquote>Escape these caves of ice For I have dined on honey dew And drunk the milk of Paradise."</blockquote>Santana was actually captured within the Pleasure Dome and did not enjoy his immortality. Hence he thought that he could make a better Xanadu. Immortality should only be something for the Gods, not for men. The people of Santana Bay don't know if he is | |||

There is a famous tale about the start of Volente, and of course also about Santana Bay, that goes as follows:<blockquote>" Long time ago, came a man on a track, Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back, He put down his load, where he thought it was the best. Made a home in the wilderness.
