The ocean lay spread out before them like a shimmering sheet of glass, with waves breaking gently against the shore. Emily, Mara, and Calem stood at the edge of Aethelmoor's final coast, gazing out at the vast, empty sea. Aethelmoor, the legendary island realm, was said to be the last safe harbor before the eternal waters, a place where sailors sought refuge and wisdom before venturing into the unknown.
Only a handful of travelers ever reached Aethelmoor, as the island was hidden from all but the most dedicated seekers. Its existence had been a secret for centuries, protected by guardians and cloaked by powerful enchantments. Legends said the island held powerful artifacts from a forgotten age, and it was said to be the final home of those who had once ruled realms beyond mortal sight.
