Sentieri verso le terre dei sogni
Semi antichi celati nel profondo

Nell'abbraccio del grande buio
L'alba porta con sé l'oblio

Il ciclo si rompe

Chimeras are mythological creatures whose body is composed of parts from different animals. They are also strange and impossible dreams, the most fragile, those who vanish when dawn comes. Nevertheless, there is hope that the endless cycle of oblivion will eventually break.

‘Yes.’
‘Hurting them? Killing them? Ending them?’
‘Yes!’
‘You want nothing for yourself?’
She paused. ‘What?’
‘For yourself. What do you want?’

The world burns as the lords of hate and cinder hags rejoice from atop corpse-wagons, collecting the fallen. Ashen servitors of the cults of malice renounce their own faces and names as they seek to scrub the land clean of all knowledge and extinguish the light of truth forevermore. Plagues have come of the earth, but this new kind of sickness can only have been summoned from the darkest follies of man. In these times we have but one option, to cast spells of whimsical rebellion within our moonlit glades and firelit halls. This old wizard is tired of weaving cures. Maybe it’s time for a fun curse or two?..
