As Atrata was regaining her memories, she remembered that a mysterious group of elves hunted her because of her black hair, which was believed to be an omen of doom to their race. Castanea, the leader of the unidentified cult, decided to spare Atrata as she would need her eventually. It is heavily implied that Castanea wiped Atrata's memories of this event.
It is later revealed that Castanea wiped Phaselus's memories clean before he transformed into a Desert Ghost. Kelpie, Phaselus's best friend, discovers this and questions Castanea, who replies that the transmogrification is a result of Irinid's curse and wipes the memories of her brethren to prevent their suffering and falling into despair upon knowing the truth. She then proceeds to wipe Kelpie's memories as a means to protect as he knows too much.
After Kelpie remembers his memories being erased, he demands Castanea to return all the memories she took away. However, she states that there is no known way to return it, only mentioning that the Memory Tower's abilities was made in an image left behind by the Irinid. "Perhaps the answer lies in Zardine, where all of this started." However, the answer was never found.
