This article is about the playable area of Janusopolis' past. For the playable area of Janusopolis' present, see "Abyss of Fate" Janusopolis. For information pertaining to the city, see Janusopolis.
A city that worships Janus, the Passage Titan who guides humanity, and the other Titans who control Fate. The destination of pilgrims, and where miracles manifest.
The magnificent Gate of Infinity, etched with the passage of time, reflects the Temple of the Three Fates at its peak. Worshipers flock here, hoping to glean a fragment of guidance for their path ahead.
The place where priests commune with the Titan, its grand architecture tracing the outlines of revelation, as divine murmurs echo through the silent ravines.
The hidden passage behind the Holy Maiden's chamber, a winding path that serves both as a symbolic barrier of the powerful and the sole route to salvation.
The spacious temple corridor where pilgrims often linger, either awaiting the unveiling of their fate or grappling with dissatisfaction over destiny's design, reluctant to depart.
Old Priest:Great Maiden, what prophecy have the Fate Titans shown you... regarding the fate of Bulsa City?
Stern Holy Maiden: The prophecy was spoken thusly...
Stern Holy Maiden: ...Though I have never met the gaze of ten thousand eyes, I will fight against the blades of ten thousand enemies.
Stern Holy Maiden: ...The gentle breeze shall be devoured by the roaring waves; the foolish king bathes himself in riches, only to purchase a life as drifter of a conquered nation.
Old Priest: ...Is that all?
Stern Holy Maiden: That is all the Titans said.
Old Priest: What kind of joke is that... The King of Bulsa has traveled a long way for a prophecy on how to save his hometown... Are you saying you want to send him off with no hope?
Stern Holy Maiden: Hah... Sir Acolyte, you're just concerned that the King of Bulsa will take back the large amount of money he paid in his desperation, aren't you?
Old Priest: Holy Maiden, watch your tongue... This is the holy land of the Coreflame of Janus, not Zagreus' den of thieves!
Stern Holy Maiden: There is no need for such outrage. I have long since lost the so-called prophetic rights of the Holy Maiden. According to our agreement... I am solely responsible for listening to the word of the Titans.
Stern Holy Maiden: I have never overly pried into how it is that you manipulate these prophecies.
Old Priest: ...Hmph.
Stern Holy Maiden: ...However, on the basis of our decades-long friendship, I must give you a word of warning.
Stern Holy Maiden: Do not give people false hope under the guise of prophecy. Otherwise... fate will place the responsibility for that city's destruction on your head.
Stern Holy Maiden: If you do not wish to be torn to shreds by the countless mourning dead when you cross the River of Souls... I would implore you to act with caution.
Old Priest: ...I understand what you are saying, Mortis. However, the Temple of the Three Fates cannot spread despair. You know that I must act for the sake of Janusopolis.
Old Priest: Although, the fact that you still consider our former friendship... I must admit I am surprised.
Stern Holy Maiden: ...
Old Priest: Work on the secret tunnel that I promised you is almost complete. If they attack soon, you will be able to escape with your children. I will cover you from the shadows.
Old Priest: It's just... It must be soon. As you know, I am not a young man anymore... I can already see Thanatos' shadow before me.
Stern Holy Maiden: ...May Janus guide your path, Codex.
Stern Holy Maiden: "Do not give people false hope under the guise of prophecy...?"
Stern Holy Maiden: Hah... Perhaps that is something that would be beyond even me...
Strong Guard: Hey, that person in the rags headed towards the temple just now. Guess who that was.
Tall Guard: Judging by their clothes and the fact that I don't really recognize them... Probably a refugee seeking solace here?
Strong Guard: That man is the King of Bulsa, former lord of the city!
Tall Guard: Huh? How can that be? He's skin and bones! The breeze on the bridge almost blew him down into the ravine just now. They don't look anything like a king?
Strong Guard: Ah... Bulsa that worships Aquila, the city of gentle breeze.
Strong Guard: The battle between Nikador and Aquila waged for many years... I hear that the people of Bulsa have a long-held grudge against the Kremnoans.
Tall Guard: How do you know him then?
Strong Guard: That king came to Janusopolis a few years ago, before you had taken office.
Strong Guard: He knew that Bulsa was no match for Castrum Kremnos and came in search of a prophecy to save his city. Sir Acolyte told him that if he gathers many allies and treats them well, he will be able to overcome the sharp edge of the Blade of Fury.
Strong Guard: The King of Bulsa trusted every word, returned to his city, and distributed his wealth to win over many small neighboring cities.
Strong Guard: The King was convinced that he now had nothing to worry about. Who could have imagined that when Castrum Kremnos did attack, all of the small neighboring cities that had received his blessings were so scared of the Blade of Fury that they all rushed to surrender?
Strong Guard: They even coughed up all of the gifts that the King of Bulsa had given them and offered them to the Kremnoans as a sign of their loyalty.
Tall Guard: ...
Strong Guard: The city of Bulsa fell in days. The poor king of Bulsa... To see a man that cared for his city and people fall so far...
Tall Guard: Well, that's all because of his blind faith in the prophecy, isn't it...?
Strong Guard: Shh, shh! Do you want the Holy Maiden Guards to add you to the list of slanderous remarks? Go back to your post.
Strong Guard: At least there weren't too many cities that were dragged into the strife of the Titans like Bulsa was. Let us hope that these days of peace will remain across the majority of Amphoreus...

Listen
Tribios: Momma! Look at this! It kept going wrong but I finally made one that works!
Gentle Mother: Is this... a music box? Tribios, you're so talented! Now whenever I'm telling you a story, we can have beautiful music playing in the background.
Tribios: Hehe, I'm still not as talented as you, mommy! You can take a whole block of red stone and slowly carve it into a crystal clear... work of art!
Tribios: Next time I want to make... a pair of gloves! That way, you won't hurt your hands next time you're polishing rocks, mommy!
Gentle Mother: Silly child. If I was scared of hurting my hands, why would I not just ask the old folks at the temple for a pair of gloves?
Gentle Mother: Honestly, you mustn't fuss over me. Just make sure you eat plenty, practice your reading and read lots of stories of Amphoreus. Nothing makes mommy happier than seeing you grow and thrive.
Tribios: I have eaten plenty! And I've practiced my reading lots! But, the stories... Hehe, there are still lots that I can't read yet...
Gentle Mother: Ah, so that's what you're up to. You were making this music box to slack off so mommy would read you more stories, right?
Gentle Mother: You sneaky thing... Looks like I won't be reading any more stories of Zagreus for a while!
Gentle Mother: Well then, what story should we read today? The golden apple beauty contest... The story of King Mikas... Gorgo and the Lion... You've heard them all lots of times, haven't you?
Tribios: I don't mind! I'll never get sick of them as long as you're reading them to me, mommy!
