Eight realms in eight months. The objective was simple enough, but in what order? What route? And where to start? Questions like these are the ones I tend to ignore as planning has never been my strong suit. Well then!

It seems fitting to begin the journey by visiting a fragment of the old kingdom, a landmark as black in realm as it is in name, and a story I feel closely connected to.
