Description
Details

One of the keys designed by the Narzissenkreuz Ordo for the tower. When combined, the keys form a peculiar shape of three and a half circles, for which there is a special explanation.

Part A:
The innermost circle is the Cycle of Hyperborea, symbolizing the age when the world was frozen and the lost paradise.

Part B:
The middle circle is the Cycle of Natlantea, symbolizing the triumph over the evil dragon, a metaphor for humanity's victory over nature as well as the beasts within themselves.

Part C:
The third circle and outermost half circle are the Cycles of Remuria and Khraun-Arya, symbolizing the relationship between humans and gods.

Trivia

The names and descriptions of these items are references to the Root Races described in Theosophy. Four of the five^{[Note 1]} named root races are referenced:
- Hyperborea corresponds to the Hyberboreans, the second root race.
- Natlantea corresponds to the Atlanteans, the fourth root race.
- Remuria corresponds to the Lemurians, the third root race.
- Khraun-Arya corresponds to the Aryans, the fifth root race.

Note: It's important to note that these concepts are part of Theosophical teachings and are not accepted in mainstream scientific or historical contexts.

Notes

↑ While Theosophists did propose the idea of seven root races, the names for only five of them were explicitly provided in the traditional Theosophical teachings. The last two root races were often left unnamed or were seen as potential future stages of human evolution.
