#### 📖 The Lore Fragment: *The Birth of AshBlossom*

> *A celestial phoenix once fell from the heavens, its heart shattering and its eternal flames scattering across a cold, lifeless void. Where its sacred ash touched the earth, the world awakened in a burst of color and growth. That world was named AshBlossom—a land born of fire, destined to bloom forever.*
