Polyhedron

The Polyhedron (Многогранник) is a joint project of the Stamatin architects and the Kains.

It is located in the western part of the city on the other side of the Gorkhon. It looks like a hornet's nest impaled on a pin. With one glance at Polyhedron it's obvious that it overcomes the laws of gravity. To secure the pin in the ground, they had to mobilize the entire Order. The land was penetrated more deeply than ever before, and even the creator of the Tower called this violence against nature.

Children see the Polyhedron as a glass tower, but for adults it appears more like paper, because they are not able to understand its secrets.

The Polyhedron is the embodiment of a miracle overcoming the inevitable. The Utopians believe it such a valuable and unique creation that they are ready to sacrifice everything for the sake of its preservation. According to Andrei Stamatin, Simon Kain built the Polyhedron for himself, but, until it is needed, lets the children play there.

At the beginning of the game the spirit of Nina Kaina lived in the tower along with children from all over the Town, led by Kaspar Kain, who consider the Polyhedron his mother's gift and his own possession. Children under his leadership call themselves Dogheads. Throughout the outbreak of the Sand Plague there was not a single case of infection inside the Polyhedron. Khan strictly observes the quarantine measures. According to Kapella, thanks to a device inside the Polyhedron it can not let in any external evil--only hold the evil that it carries in itself.

According to Kapella, and in accordance with the philosophy of the Termites, there is a price to the miracle of the Polyhedron, and the wisest children left the Polyhedron. However, those remaining did not share this view.

Something is known about the way the Polyhedron affects its inhabitants. In a conversation with Khan, you can see that when you visit the faces of children are invisible to others. If in your dreams, which can be dangerous, the child will die, it will throw the ladder located inside the tower. Also, there can be on their own to take a break from the stress of feeling.
