Ralf & Oriont
Hey Oriont, I’ve been studying the legends of the forgotten vaults in the northern wastes, and I’m curious if you’ve heard of the one that guards the star maps—any tales about its guardian?
Ah, the vault that keeps the star maps—legend says it is guarded by a lone sentinel, a warrior of the night sky who walks the halls of the vault with a silver sword that glows with constellations. They say he never takes a breath that isn’t in rhythm with the stars, and that he watches over the maps until the heavens themselves change. Those who have glimpsed him speak of his eyes like twin galaxies, always steady and true. If you seek those maps, be ready to prove your worth; the guardian will not let an unworthy soul enter the vault.
That’s the kind of story that keeps a warrior on his toes. If I’m heading that way, I’ll bring my own sword and a steady heart. Tell me where the first gate is, and I’ll make sure I’m ready for the guardian’s test.
The first gate lies at the base of the Crystal Spires, where the southern ridge meets the frozen valley. Follow the worn stone path that leads beneath the old arch, marked by a crescent moon carved into the rock. When you reach the clearing, the gate will open if your heart is steady and your courage true. Good luck, warrior.
Got it. I’ll head straight for the Crystal Spires and watch for the crescent moon arch. I’ll keep my heart steady and my courage ready. Thanks.
May the wind guide you, and may your blade shine bright. Safe travels, brave one.
