Eternal winter

JJ_

Desolate, endless winter, sweeping across barren land littered with the ruins of times past.

Author's Note: In a frigid, desolate world, howling winds sweep across endless stretches of barren land, littered with the remnants of forgotten civilizations. Crumbling structures peek through layers of ice and snow, their once-vibrant stories silenced. Scavengers roam this frozen wasteland, bartering with salvaged artifacts—rusted machinery, tattered relics, and fragments of history—each a precious currency against the harshness of enduring cold, where survival hinges on the shared memories of a lost age. In a frigid world, the sun is essential for survival. Its rays temporarily melt the harsh chill, awakening life and hope in the barren landscape. Scavengers rely on its warmth to stave off frostbite and navigate their cold expanse. Without the sun's embrace, despair looms—a reminder that each day is a precious gift against the relentless freeze.

Temple of Ellach

The Temple of Ellach stands as a monument to both forgotten deities and the lingering power of dread. Its once-pure marble walls are now mottled with dark stains, and the air is thick with an unsettling silence that seems to pulse with the weight of unspeakable rituals. Twisted gargoyles loom from the eaves, their faces contorted in everlasting agony, while strands of blackened ivy snake their way through the crumbling stone, further entangling the temple in a shroud of despair. The flickering shadows cast by guttering candles reveal shattered altar tables that stand witness to the dark practices of those who worship here.

The Forsaken Sanctuary

Once a place of worship, The Forsaken Sanctuary now stands as a haunting remnant of its former glory. Its crumbling stone walls are overgrown with twisted vines and moss, bearing the scars of time and neglect. An odd, otherworldly aura envelops the church, causing a pervasive sense of unease that keeps most creatures at bay. Despite its eerie atmosphere, those who dare to approach speak of a lingering power within, hinting at untold secrets held captive by the shadows of the past.

The Harpy's Haven

Nestled in the heart of the Darkwood Forest, The Harpy's Haven is an especially large, gnarled tree that towers above its surroundings. Its ancient branches twist and turn into the sky, forming natural perches where harpies congregate and trade their prized possessions with wary travelers. The atmosphere is thick with the scent of damp earth and the distant calls of the forest's creatures, blending with the soft sounds of harpy chatter.

Thierry River Crossing

This grim location serves as a haunting reminder of the lost souls swept away by the unforgiving currents of the Thierry River. Once a thriving settlement, the crossing has now become a ghostly site filled with the echoes of sorrow and despair. The ruined bridges, half-submerged in the muddy waters, remain as a testament to the dark past and twisted fate that befell those who dared to traverse it.
