Neverwinter Forest and no sun

men killed, she knew this. women gave out harsh punishments too, if they must. the ways of sunshine were old — and she had seen the harsher lives of others when she had walked far.

cleanse in the cold waters each day, say a prayer of peace three times. look to the sun each morning in the clearings. in the moonlight, before sleep, whisper your words into the Mánilundur. let it carry your thoughts while you sleep.
