The Blue Elves of Ennlya, a small harbour town of the Nordrenn, have all been massacred. The Blue Elfe Lanawyn and Turin, a renowned man, investigate as all the tracks lead to a clan of Yrlanis, these Northern Men who hate the Elves. In the city Elsemur island, Vaalan a young Blue Elfe passes the test of the water of the senses. The prophetess sees her near future, a future linked to the sacred crystal. "He who controls the crystal, controls the ocean". This announcement makes great noise and it murmurs that Vaalann could be the messiah that the Blue Elfes have been waiting for several generations.
