Ludleth

None are more dedicated to firelinking than Ludleth. He considers Kingship as kindling an honor, never wavering from royal duty: when all the other Lords of Cinder abandon the kingly path, he remains in his throne. He is also the weakest Lord of Cinder we encounter, his body small, feeble, and broken by his own […]

Untended Graves

Despite the change in lighting, the Untended Graves is recognizably the same area from the beginning of our journey.

Indeed, we can see pilgrims journeying at the foot of the castle city, and the […]
