Eternal winter

J
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.

Description

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.
