A particular epic about a Seeker named Kayda became very popular. The story follows the life of Kayda, a young Lolion monk, who dedicates his life to finding the Quun Tirtoir, but then finds its counterpart, an infinite staircase that leads to the depths of death. Discovering it leads to the dead walking back into the world and wreaking havoc. Kayda manages to shut down the staircase, which he learns means that the Quun Tirtoir will become inaccessible as well. The moral of the story is that Quun Tirtoir is not meant to be found and that the spiritual path is in learning one's limits and finding happiness within oneself. The epic was developed into a play by the [[Dantala Theater]] in 9-10th CTR.
