Summary
"At their young age, the world seemed endless in opportunity, and the concept of loss was a distant thing. Elves, in their nature, were unfamiliar with the finite ways of time. Even Halsin, ever dutiful to the Oakfather, had yet to experience the hardships that became well-earned wisdom. How could they, after all, when all they knew then was love, life, and eternal sunlight."
When the lands of Reithwin were joyful and green, a young druid found friendship with an elf from the city. They grew to love one another, but the world was ever bound to change. The land they once called home was lost to darkness, the elf died alone in the streets, and the druid fell, overwhelmed by his sorrow and Shar's wicked touch.
Centuries later, Astarion Ancunín went on a journey he never thought possible, with a tadpole in his head being the only salvation he got after years of serving a cruel master. In the shadow-cursed lands, he finds the hazy memories of his past unravelled.
And the shadow of a person he once hoped to forget.
