The Wanderer's Eve

In the Shadows of Eridoria

The curved moon rode high in the night sky, its pale light casting an eerie glow over the city of Eridoria.

In the Shadows of the Frozen Mountains

As the lunar eclipse dipped the world into an ethereal slumber, a sturdy, sake-intoxicated behemoth stumbled out of the mist-shrouded mountains.

The winter's bitter chill licked at his bare skin, like an envious kiss from the icy hills.He donned only a tattered cloak, worn and worn, as if the fabric itself had succumbed to the harsh winters. His gait was slow, unsteady, as he swayed to the cadence of some unseen melody.
