It was the beginning of fall, and a chill breeze foretold of a dreaded winter to come. Dark clouds gathered above, red tinged lightning occasionally spidering across the sky. Any other place would have saw the darkened clouds as a promise of rain, but here on Aryth, they served only to block the light of a pale sun and cast a grim shadow over the land. That shadow seemed darker today....The morning dew was all the moisture the ground would receive this day. And the next, for it didn't rain much anymore on Aryth, and when it did, it was often the black blood of a fallen god instead of sweet life-giving water. The air was heavy with humidity, moisture in the air that only exaggerated the bone chilling cold.The grey light of early morning slowly washed over Calim's Spring and slowly, lethargically, it's people stirred in the light of a new day. They had nothing to look forward to, rising only because they had to. Wood must be cut, animals fed, and the dwindling stores of food protected or prepared.The sun seemed dimmer today, the clouds struggling hard to hold back the light. The morning was unnaturally quiet. No crickets chirped, no goats bleated. The lightning that crawled across the horizon made no sound. No thunder.A raven called from the top of the blacksmith's shop. The shrill sound cut through the silence like a rusted blade, its exclamation heralding the dawn. Or perhaps it had spotted a bit of carrion nearby? Or maybe, just maybe, it sensed the evil that approached along the Old North Road. Something was coming. OOC: You are free to begin the game however you like so long as you are within the town or within a ¼ mile. It is roughly 7:00AM.
