Stepping out into the raising sun, morning light cresting just over Emberglow Peak like a halo, I take in my surroundings. Ashen Hallow is a beautiful village in one of the valleys of Manaforge Mountain Range. To my right, I see the entrance to the Manaflux Hot Springs and Resort—a place where one can replenish and rejuvenate their mana. Across from the resort, there’s an outlet mall of sorts where mundane and mystic beings, alike, can shop to their hearts’ content. Although Ashen Hallow is an ordine village, you could throw a rock into the crowd and find a mystic, whether mage or shifter. It’s the same at every Manaforge peak within Valkathra.
