The only unfortunate thing about the book was that although it contains many possible accurate information about Lawrence and his people, the story was cut short as there was no ending
It doesn't contain any information on how to destroy the pillar and keep the world safe
In the story, that Kingdom has literal pillars representing different things but in the real world, in the Empire, it was different
There aren't any literal pillars but there are people that represented those pillars
While 3 of the pillars maintains the world, a 4th pillar that seems to have come from another world arrives to destroy the world and in the Empire, Lawrence is the personification of that pillar
