AI Summary
5 min readIn the crater where the city of Promise once stood, a party of wanderers finds themselves staring into a wound in the world. The great city has vanished entirely from the Halcyon Domain, leaving behind only crackling remnants of raw power, a massive chasm glowing with emerald light, and the buzzing in their bodies finally beginning to fade. One of them, Bowen, pulls out a glass orb containing a single human fingerbone—a relic given to him days before by a blood-covered stranger in the Sallowlands. The orb is now glowing with the same green tint as the energy around them, vibrating and stinging at his touch.
The Vision of the March
When Bowen sits down to commune with the spirit connected to the fingerbone, he is pulled into a vision. He sees a black horizon of people marching north, all wearing red tabards and robes, following a young man with long black hair carrying a tome. The man is impossibly handsome, walking with a smile and a strong air of rebellion, his gaze fixed on a distant glow called Ember Reach. At his side walks a woman with pale silver hair and vibrant green eyes. They kiss, and the march continues. The vision ends with an awareness of every statue of every veiled god in the Halcyon Domain turning in their direction.
