Worldlings: Tales of Tiny Gods

Hidden in the mists of the Wilderwoods, just past the outskirts of the village, in the cracks and hollows, small souls lead profoundly simple lives, linked to the world by delicate threads of magic and happenstance.

Tales from the Fireside

Sitting around the fireplace Old Yani tells stories of the Worldlings living in the wilderness.

As a child, she says, she got lost in the woods and came upon a stream. A line of smooth colorful pebbles was being herded towards the water by a small stone figure. The shining rocks plunked into the stream, one by one, before the Stone Herder noticed her. Then, they all fell still. She picked up a blue spotted stone and said "Help, I'm lost." After a moment, the stone rolled out of her hand, leading her through the woods directly home.

"They're still guiding me," says Old Yani, pointing towards the mantel at a blue spotted stone surrounded by candles. Wait, did it just move?
