"History is not written by grand battles and royal decrees alone, it is whispered in alleys, carved in shipwrecks, and buried in landslides." -Elara Thorn, Scholar of the Grandgleam
For every war that shook a kingdom, there are a thousand smaller stories, famous duels, mysterious vanishings, legendary expeditions that met with disaster. These are the moments that fill tavern tales and old sailor’s warnings, events that might not define an era but remain embedded in the lives of those who endured them. A forgotten city swallowed by the bog, a bandit king whose fortune was never found, a noble house that fell from grace in a single night, these threads may not weave the grand tapestry of history, but they give it its depth, its color, its texture.
