Cairn Shade

THE WILDS

In the Pale Reach the mourners raised cairns where headstones could not be afforded, one stone laid per memory. Then Ninelle collected the memories, and the shades came loose from their stones like smoke from a doused fire. The Cairn Shade drifts among the graves it can no longer find, dismantling cairns stone by stone, searching for the one that was built of it.
