"Hypotheses on the Formation of Submarine Voids I" A hollow space has appeared beneath the sea near Asterleeds, sparking heated debate among scholars. I'd like to share my own perspective.

Theory 1: Spatial Displacement
One explanation suggests that a section of underwater space somehow "slipped away" and was replaced by another fragment, leaving behind a void.
It's a story people love-mysterious, fantastical, ripe with imagination.
But it has many flaws.
Alternate dimensions? There's no proof.
Even if they did exist-how would space just slide away? What kind of force could cause that? Subterranean energy? No one has seen any such activity.
In a word, this theory has flair, but it's flimsy. What it needs is evidence.

Theory 2: The Bapharian Divine's Legacy
When the inexplicable happens, many instinctively point to the Bapharian Divine.
They're mentioned so often that just reading those words makes me frown.

Still, we can't rely on gut feelings or personal biases. Let's look at the evidence.
Unusual Engram fluctuations have been detected near the hollow.

The interior is equally strange- containing both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Most notably, it features "Red Candle Coral", which scientists say takes over a hundred years to grow. This suggests the hollow is ancient.
From this, some leap to the conclusion: the Divine race was here -this must be their forgotten ruin.

But that, too, doesn't quite hold water. Despite the anomalies and the Red Candle Coral,
not a single piece of the Divine's relics has been found. Not even a trace.

It sounds more like a legend built around a mystery.
Is it true or just a story? We'll need to go deeper- literally and figuratively. We need facts. We need proof.

And there is one more theory-slightly more grounded...
--- "Hypotheses on the Formation of Submarine Voids II" Beyond the two earlier theories, there's another: the whirlpool theory.

Near the undersea hollow lies a stretch of ocean sailors call the Evershade Waters-a place with a grim reputation, where countless ships have sunk.
At the heart of it is a massive whirlpool. Just how big? They say it can swallow anything-large vessels, small boats-it makes no distinction. Strangely, it doesn't keep what it takes. Whatever's dragged under eventually resurfaces, cast out into nearby waters.
Coincidence or not, the undersea hollow lies exactly where things tend to be spat out.

So, is the whirlpool responsible? Could it truly have hollowed out the seafloor?
Hard to say. There's no solid proof linking the two.
And even if there were, how did the whirlpool itself appear? One mystery only replaces another. That's not much of an answer.

An old scholar once told me, maybe the real problem is that we humans still understand too little, our technology still crude. Perhaps this is nothing more than a natural phenomenon we've yet to comprehend-like thunder before we knew what caused it, or the rising of the sun.
These days, life in Asterleeds has improved. People are comfortable. Few are curious enough to question the strange and unexplained.
The whirlpool theory may not be perfect, but I find it compelling. Because it pushes us forward. Don't rush to close the book-keep digging. The sea still guards many of its secrets.
