The Lantern Anthology
In Westvale, every duchy carries its own customs, its own burdens, and its own way of seeking truth. This collection gathers seven short vignettes, each one illuminating the defining theme that shapes a duchy and the people who call it home.
From Rosemarche’s contemplative riverbanks to Goldhollow’s intricate mercantile power, from Valedorn’s Concord courts to Dornhal’s honor-bound lineage, these lantern-lit moments offer a quiet and atmospheric introduction to the realms of Aelthara. Each vignette stands alone, revealing a moment of clarity unique to its duchy, yet together they form a tapestry of Westvale’s diverse hearts.
Gentle, immersive, and rooted in the cultural soul of the Mariselle watershed, these stories invite readers to step into the stillness, where a single lantern can illuminate the truth a duchy holds most dear.
