The Second Calling
Three hundred years ago a grey tide called the Lethe nearly unmade the world of Pieria. It drains the colour out of things, then the life, then the memory. Against it there is only the Aletheia, the old force that lets a stone remember it is a stone. People from Earth, the first Wayfarers, drove it back and sealed it away. The world forgot almost everything about them.
Now the seal is failing. Ysolde, Warden of the Calling, has started calling Wayfarers again, and you're one of them. You'll wake in a ring of old stones, learn to look after yourself, then set out for the village of Hollowmere.
East of the village, the grass has already gone grey.
“Nothing burns that has already forgotten it was alive. But the stones at the waymarks hold. They don't fight the grey; they hold it, the way a name holds a face.”
