Five Roads, One Departure
Ironbound, Waystalker, Ashcaller, Gloamknife, and Veilbinder leave the same rain gate, then choose what they will risk together.
Choose a vocationWindows into the realm
The Lantern Wall
Share the fire at Rowan Hearth, cross Stonebrook's rain-dark market, walk between Gravewatch's warded dead, and stand where veil-smoke marks the last safe return. Farther down the wall wait working banks and depots, sworn callings, costly deaths, completed commissions, and rare finds worth carrying home.
From shared fire to guarded dark
