The River That Forgot the Sea

Help a wandering river remember where it was going.

Mira Dawnleaf Reflective Peaceful, curious, hopeful

Mira follows a river flowing in circles and uncovers a broken promise between the valley, its water spirits, and a village afraid of change.

At dawn, the river bends away from the coast and begins flowing around the same hill. Mira dips a hand into the current and hears it asking for directions.
