Ashes of the Forgotten Pact – Part 2
The Hall of Records stood half-buried in the cliffs east of Thalamar’s Reach, a place long removed from the path of pilgrims and faith. It loomed like a tomb carved into stone, its arches carved with forgotten prayers now worn smooth by time and wind.

The great iron doors groaned on rusted hinges as Aric pushed them open, the sound echoing like a dirge through the cavernous dark.

Ashes of the Forgotten Pact – Part 1
The stench of old smoke still clung to the stones of Saint Aurellian’s Abbey, three days after the fire. It drifted on the breeze like a whispered warning, curling through the shattered archways and scorched pews.
