Hero profile
Prologue
Blue lantern-light threads through the crossroads. Ashen hears three voices and trusts the quietest one least.
Ashen Crow enters the tale as necromancer / spirit speaker, shaped by dark, poetic, mysterious and the atmosphere of Haunted valleys, old grave libraries, bone archives, moonlit crossroads. The story below follows that hero path as a finished chronicle.
