[The Shore of Dreams]
Fel and pine trees crowd close to the shore of an almost perfectly clear pool. A low wall
crafted from bright blue Liabo marble surrounds the tiny pond, encircling it in a loving
embrace. The gleaming surface of the water is disturbed only by concentric rings drifting
away from the waterfall lazily spilling down from an outcropping of rocks overhead. Though
the shadows are deep here, an occasional beam of light pierces the darkness, illuminating
the vivid colors surrounding you. You also see a faint path.
Kentrue recites: "Lords,
Ladies, and Commoners
Welcome to the permanent handfasting
of Lady Miramaune and Lord Goldbadz"
