There lies a place beyond Time. Among hills and forests, swamps and rivers, land and the eternal sea. Men and women once walked these lands, listening to and observing the creatures that lived there in awe. They bid farewell to their dead with their aid, consulted them for omens, came to them at moments of great change. All that had changed long ago. Yet the creatures still crossed onto the other side, and brought back news from the mortal world.
