Swalden is a gas giant, a much larger world than Mizahar. While lacking a solid surface, Summoning portals can be opened to the real point of interest about the planet: its vast crystalline ring. This ring is entirely made of special gemstones called Memosites and thought to be a joint effort of the goddesses Qalaya and Semele. Possibly the remnants of a single, immense stone, a Memosite is a repository of memories left by previous wizards. The stones resonate together, share the same knowledge and can communicate telepathically with their wielder, giving and receiving thoughts. The Summoner receives a specific memory from the stone and in turn entrusts one of his own to it. He must then open another portal and return the Memosite to the planetary ring or the stones will refuse to yield their memories the next time. Memosites are frequently used by wizards to pass on information to their fellows without having to physically meet them in person. Given the rather public nature of Swalden, information passed in this way is often encrypted.
