The Peaks of Faith and Death: The Alps
Mountain ranges have historically been important locations strategically and spiritually. They offer protection to civilizations or settlements from attack by creating large barriers, and they inspire great myths and legends, due to their looming and mysterious natures. These traits, and their consequences, are extremely evident in the Alpine mountain range. The Alps have a deep history of cravings for glory and supernatural experiences.

Ganymede Crying
What a thing, to know the stars. It must set light to something Within us, It must give sparkle Even to the blackest souls, The sky, each other.
