The Paragon

The Paragon is the room used to reach the Point of Purity. It is encountered in Legacy, when it is used for Team Valiant to swear their oaths. Only the Councillors, Sophie, Dex, Stina, Wylie, and Biana have ever set foot in it.

Interior
The curved walls have honeycomb-shaped diamond bricks without any gaps. They are cool to the touch, and there is a low ceiling.

Entrance
The Paragon is reached through a small silver door at the end of a long, dark, quiet hallway with a jeweled floor exiting the Seat of Eminence. Spotlights vanish when the threshold is reached. The doorway is several feet deep, with a second doorway behind it.

Exit
The Paragon can only be exited with one of the Councillors' golden keys. They press their right index fingers against the bit piece of the key and hold it until a low rumble vibrates the floor. After they press it again, there is a wait, and then the roll seems to "roll forward and bounce up at the same time."

The room spins incredibly quickly, so much that eyes cannot perceive it, and so that those inside are weightless.

After several minutes of travel, the Paragon floods with shimmering light, which Sophie assumes means they have left the Seat of Eminence and are flying over Eternalia. About 700 seconds of climbing later, the light shifts from a warm yellow to a soft blue, and the room becomes extremely cold.

After the Councillors press the filigree in the bow of their keys, a squeaky rattle triggers, and the stones unfold into a wide globe, about triple the original size. The users are now at the Point of Purity.

A leap is made using all three Prime Sources. The crystal used is three different colors—white, silver, and gold—and is much cloudier than normal leaping crystals. The paths are so bright that they are difficult to look at.

Quotes

 * Claustrophobia wasn't something she usually wrestled with, but she couldn't help staring at the low ceiling and curved diamond walls around here—which lacked any trace of windows or other doors—feeling like she'd just been locked inside a super-blinged-out, elf-size hamster ball, packed with sixteen other people. -Narration, in Legacy.
 * The Councillors barely seemed to notice as the Paragon blasted up and up and up some more—faster, faster, faster. Her eyes watered and her ears popped and her stomach dropped into her toes—which, she was stunned to realize, were no longer touching the floor.
