Aethenvorn
AETHENVORN is a valley that should not exist on any map.
Held behind the slow, breathing mist of the Veilbreath and sustained by rites older than written record, Aethenvorn has endured for centuries as a living sanctuary-its canopy, stone, and subterranean heat bound together by a field of power the valley-born feel in their bones and outsiders can't name.
But something is changing. The Veilbreath is thinning at the mountain pass, and the wrongness carries the unmistakable scent of attention: the kind that comes with empires, with survey corps and instruments, with the cold patience of cartographers who turn unknown places into provinces.
As wardens tighten their watch and the council fractures under pressure, three traditions that rarely agree are forced into alignment-steel and discipline, measured resonance and records, memory-songs and the oldest truths kept near the Still, the valley's deepest and most sacred water. Because there is one answer left in the oldest layers of Aethenvorn's making.
A working so deep it could save the valley.
A cost so absolute it may sever everyone inside from everything they've ever known beyond its walls.
