A collection of mythopoeic stories.
Somewhere in the heart of mists and silence, something is stirring, a presence biding its time.
A mysterious plague befalls a town, its effects devastating and merciless. Nightmarish abominations stalk the land, terrorizing settlements and travelers. The cold winds of a jagged mountain peak whisper maddening thoughts of hunger and deception.
Something powerful stretches its influence slowly across the world of Lendral, and now that which has been forgotten must be remembered.
