[QUOTE="Hrothgar, post: 3342118, member: 22226"] [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: Love the picture in my mind. Keep up the roleplaying, guys! Nice![/COLOR] As the setting sun flashes crimson through thin clouds in a bleak gray sky, far on the southwestern horizon a line of orange and dark clouds hang in the sky. Even when darkness consumes the sun, the horizon stays lit, as if some fiery conflagration slowly consumed the world at its far edge.
