[Ashka shows Paul a map that looks very much like Australia, with a few geographical and topological differences]

Ashka:
This is a map of the Spellbinders' land. This is the castle and the tower near Clayhill where you arrived.

Paul Reynolds:

Gryvon:

Ashka:

Paul Reynolds:

Gryvon:
Only the power of Spellbinders saved us.

Paul Reynolds:
But what caused this Darkness?

Ashka:
The Marauders.
