Haven & Hearth

There is light, and you find yourself surrounded by a vast and dark forest, with a path ahead of you stretching far off into some distant greenery. All around you, the land draws heavy breaths of wind, carrying with it scents of pine, and earth, and age. You feel light, almost floating, and yet strangely also heavier than you have ever felt before. Centuries are everywhere around, and within you.
Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

A Marriage of Light and Darkness

It has been said that certain primordial, mystical, dualities of the Deep Magic will not come undone until at the End of Ages, when Hearthling is the wolf of Hearthling, and all hope is lost. Are you a man or a woman, spirit? The path ahead demands a choice.
Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

Wind & Fire

You burn in the fire for what seems like an eternity, in unbearable pain singing through every fibre of your body, convulsing in darkness and flame, and it is with relief that you then suddenly sense the quite different note of a cool breeze, somewhere high above and beyond the fire and the pain. The breeze grows softly stronger, soothing your charred skin, and cooling the rage around you. Before long, there is only the wind.
Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

Unlocked 7 Dec @ 1:43am

Quenching Thirst

You drink deep and greedily in full, dank, draughts, as visions of mist and Huldra dance within the theatre of your mind's eye. Only rarely have you, in hindsight, ever felt this thirsty, and having quenched that thirst now leaves you feeling unusually alive. For the briefest moment the road ahead seems clear.
Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

New Land

A feeling of mixed excitement and trepidation comes over you as you stand here, by this edge between two lands, waiting to cross.
Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

Treading Grass

A patch of grass brushes against your feet, touching them with dew and damp. It tickles, reminding you of childhood joys, as a smile radiates out across your lips, and further on and away toward a universe which you in this moment know could not know evil.
Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

The Symbel

It is not every meal that feels like a grand banquet held in a well-lit Hall, in the company of Kings, to symphonies of blowing horns and roaring fires, flowing with mead, but this one does.
Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

Leaping Free

Time pauses and leaves you suspended mid-air, a fly trapped in the amber of time, and for a lifetime passed in the wink of an eye, you hang there from nothing, in defiant conquest of time and space. The thunder of the world surging back into motion is deafening.
Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

Striking the Root

Well, that took some doing, but you finally managed to untangle those darn roots, and get that thing out of the ground. Now for what to make of it...
Unlocked 15 Nov @ 2:36pm

Timber!

With your final whack of the hatchet, the tree comes crashing down in a flurrious cascade of twig and branch. Your sense of satisfaction is complete.
Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

By Weeping Willows

Why does Old Man Willow weep? In longing for youth and friends bygone, or in sadness at the touch of an axe or an ill wind? Beyond the rustling of leaves you can, in any event, swear that you heard him sobbing.

Ancient Windthrow

Sometime, in the great old beginnings, when the Old Gods were still young, free, and wild, a mighty tree did here come crashing down. Now there is only shade, and damp, and the slow decay of ages. You have found an Ancient Windthrow.
Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

Planting for the Future

You pad the sapling gently with the moist of the soil, and can, for the brief flash of an instant, see the entire future of this plant, from now to mighty timber, laid out before you, and your act of planting it suddenly seems laden with portent.
Unlocked 22 Nov @ 8:18am

Spelunking

You've entered a cave, and the light from the outside now grows fainter as you delve deeper into it. The cave appears to stretch on for some distance into the pitch.

Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

Caving in

You pass a bend in the road, and then suddenly there it is: A mysterious cave entrance peeking out from behind a tree. Your sense of adventure and the curious is tingled. Will you cave in?
Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

Great Cave Organ

Sombre, haunting notes echo within the bellows of this colossal, stalagmite structure of these cavernous underworlds, as ill fumes spew forth from below. Who knows what secret pathways connect it to the deeper core of the Hearth?

You know that you at some point may have to part with this thing that you made, and that's fine, but for now, for this once, you stand in silent, humble, marvel at the simple perfection here sprung forth from your hands.

Fragrance of Flowers

The air here carries a breath of sweet perfume, and you feel the fullness of life pulsating everywhere around you, draped in a note of divine simplicity.
Unlocked 14 Nov @ 11:42am

Letting go of your Dream

You open your hand just slightly, and suddenly it's gone in a puff of pink and sugar. Perhaps you threw it away. Perhaps you just dropped it. Perhaps you gave it to the world. Either way you let go of your beautiful dream, and it is now gone.
Unlocked 23 Nov @ 11:43am

Mixing up the Medicine

There is a sublime smell, pungent, with creamy notes, as if from onion or poppy, arising from the poultice before you, in reminder of the selfless joys of the healer's calling.
Unlocked 24 Nov @ 11:17pm

Unlocked 26 Nov @ 3:36pm

Carrying Light

You hold the flame gasping between your cupped hands, shielded from a light breeze, and wafting like silk. In the world around and beyond you, cold and darkness linger, ever encroaching upon the houses of light and life. This moment will not last forever, but for now you carry warmth into the world where you tread. It is a rare thing for a Firebrand to last this long.
Unlocked 18 Nov @ 6:55am

Pricked by the Spindle

It is like a fairy tale of unraveling thread, and more pain than you had honestly expected, as a red droplet bleeds out where you, just now, pricked yourself on the spindle. Ouch!

Drawing Blood

You plunge the sharp end of your tool deep into the carcass lying prone in front of you, and draw from it a steaming gush of blood.

Unlocked 17 Nov @ 1:15am
