08 – Reaching Sunless Skein

 Video /  Playlist

The last metres out of the burning city. I leave the flames behind me now, most of it is already ashes or the wind has blown the ashes here. As grey as everything is, you can no longer tell the difference. I have the feeling that the ash is slowly seeping into every crack, and I can certainly smell the smoke myself. Maybe that’s why Rhogar’s brood is looking at me so strangely? Anyway, I mobilise the last of my strength and reach the cool mines. I set up camp for the night in one of these abandoned manor houses, hoping to find a quiet, safe corner. After a few hours’ sleep, I head into the mines. The climate is certainly cooler and more humid underground, spared from the fire. Maybe I’ll find a cool, damp place here where I can clean myself.
