WORLD OF THE WOUND
A mountain tomb shown on the northern Shoan map.
A mountain tomb shown on the northern Shoan map. Roots, ancient stone and a long-kept watch mark the place in local remembrance.
In the Shoan Highlands, river mist settles across terraces, monasteries and the Naeril. Warm lanterns are precious here; the landscape and its old customs speak softly of things remembered.
Spoiler-free background from the world and its recorded traditions.
The Naeril gathers cold water below steep forests and terraced slopes. Baisu clings to the river; farther uphill, paths narrow between woodland, stone and cloud. In the ARPG landscape studies, river shrines, the mist terraces and the upper monastery each have their own light, sound and vegetation.
