Riona, between Technology and Mystery!

Cross The Ages, Artellium Post

Riona: “Metaverse Eater”

At the center of the map, as frightening as it is intriguing, a female humanoid figure appears majestically. A perfect anagram of NORIA, she probably represents the entity Mantrix, who takes possession of the spirits downloaded to her “Riona - Noria”. 


This character, with her spectral and ethereal appearance, seems to feed off all the energy flowing towards her. Her face is so radiant, yet so dark, and her open mouth seems to smile. She seems paradoxically menacing. All these components hypnotize the gaze, freeze it and question it.

Its appearance symbolizes the ambiguity between the role of protection and that of strict and absolute surveillance. Security and danger at the same time.

Gentle and ruthless, she creates an atmosphere of palpable tension and fascination between security and control.


Its ephemeral lines, not totally defined, as if they were only a line of codes, a coded writing destined to disappear in the meanders of a digital world evolving very quickly, too quickly... Or even her hair which escapes upwards, in a rather aerial way, they seem to float, bathed in dark colors: blue, purple and Fushia almost glowing, they are similar to a neural network or something similar.

They blend into a background of patterns, Mantri writing, and electronic circuits, perhaps even a frenzied musical score. 


Do these patterns represent the digital canvas of the Noria?

Do these purple and blue colors, like vibrations, suggest a constant flow of information or energy?

We can almost hear the whisper of data circulating in this digital universe, creating a technological symphony in the background.


His right arm, raised and surrounded by blue and purple holographic patterns, seems to control the fluidity of this energy.

This graceful, charged and imposing movement evokes a kind of connection and link between the spirits of the Mantris citizens, the SIT and the Noria.

She holds in the palm of her left hand a transparent sphere, containing a burning tree. 


What does it symbolize? Are its long, sharp claws erected like ramparts around this sphere arranged in this way to protect it? Or to constrain it?

Within this sphere, a tree with burning leaves represents the management and maintenance of the life of the Mantris systems. This sphere, with the tree within, is the very heart of the Noria.


Around her, several transparent spheres float, containing complex patterns similar to data networks or uploaded minds.

These spheres form a constellation of memories and consciousnesses, suspended in this digital ether. They potentially represent the many Mantrix connected within the Noria, as well as the communication channels, making this map vibrant with energy and mystery.


This combo card offers a vibrant, contrasting color palette. The dominance of blue, with a hint of purple and a luminescent orange light emanating from the creature's mouth, as well as the sphere containing the tree and the empty spheres floating around it, add more power and mystery to this character.


This combination creates a futuristic and mystical atmosphere, which links advanced technology with Riona's important, almost spiritual status.

Every shade and every glow of the map tells a story. The story of a world where a subtle blend of technology and spirituality reigns, meeting and blending in complete harmony.


This map as a whole represents the fusion of digital life and practical management of the citizens of Mantris. It features this character who represents the complex symbolism of the power of the Noria network, uniting the living and the dead in a dematerialized agora.

What is the Noria? Its challenges? Its flaws?

The role of NORIA (Non-Organic Rhizome of Artificial Intelligences) and therefore of Riona, is much more complex than that which a simple map can exercise in the world of Cross the Ages.


NORIA selects and downloads the spirits of the Mantri it has chosen in advance, making them the perfect symbiosis of technology and eternity. Thus, by becoming Mantrix, the spirits of the ancestors advise the Mantri who come to consult them on the management of their daily affairs and share with them certain secrets of the past, particularly concerning the Appologium.


With its powerful attributes and captivating visuals, this SR Mantris Riona combo alternative card promises to be a valuable asset for players.

By purchasing this Riona card, players and collectors, you will not only obtain a card of great power, but also an important symbol in the Mantris universe.


Riona, with her humanoid figure and burning tree of life, reminds us of the importance of connections, whether digital or spiritual.

It represents the complexity and richness of Mantris society, connecting the living and the dead in a sophisticated digital web.


But let's not forget that Riona is certainly a formidable, strong, uncontrollable, even unstoppable figure. ExSITés had better watch out...

In the right hands, it becomes a powerful weapon, capable of controlling information flows and minds with disconcerting precision, and it provides many services to those who need it.


However, this force must be mastered wisely, because the power of the Noria, if misused, can quickly become uncontrollable. This duality makes it an even more fascinating and strategic addition for any collector.

Riona is a card that doesn't just appear in a deck; it tells a story, one of innovation and spirituality in a futuristic world. Does it represent the same thing for everyone? 


For some, it's an invitation to reflect on what we're willing to give up to technology. It's an invitation to explore the various aspects and purposes of this technology, deep within our souls. It's a journey into a world where every connection matters and every mind finds its place.

Others certainly have another vision, another analysis of this situation!


The main thing is to use it wisely!!!!
