The Arkana “The Ark” and “Apocalypse” share an orientation towards messianic transformation. The difference between them is this: Apocalypse is an ideal state of awareness for the Haelegen to achieve, whereas the Ark is a cross-generational vessel accumulating efforts in its name. Apocalypse is an ideal state of resonance actively maintained or sought by an individual or group. The Ark is a communal treasure chest, expanding even as it transforms the narrative of the past and the horizon of the future
