The Wasteland

T
Timteroo

A king’s moral decay blights his realm, drying rivers and withering crops. A barren land reflects a ruler’s failings, only restored by trials in the Otherworld. The bond between a king’s virtue & his kingdom’s health, a theme of rulers & their lands. The physical world mirrors the moral state of ruler, growing barren as king suffers or sins. The decay represents a curse, a call for atonement. Recovery by strength & spiritual insight. The path to redemption requires a journey into the unknown.
