Did Zerika visit it, and if so was it before she claimed the orb? Perhaps it 'phased out' of reality after the first Great Cycle. Time does weird things in the Paths, so the Interregnum could have never happened for the Cycle...One instant was Adron's Disaster, the next was Zerika's Ascension. --Andrew
