Quillweaver of the Forgotten Sky

Quillweaver of the Forgotten Sky

By @AURION

Sixteen-year-old Kael, a Finder in the wondrous Aevum, sails an ocean of sky-islands born from forgotten human ideas. From jungles of half-written songs to cities of abandoned doodles, his nimble skiff navigates this ethereal realm, rescuing lost concepts before they fade into nothingness. Kael is brave and lightning-fast, but beneath his gentle exterior hides a profound secret: he believes he has zero memories of his own life before the Aevum. This makes him the perfect Quillweaver, able to channel raw imagination without the painful cost of trading a personal memory. But when a creeping blight begins to unravel the very fabric of the Aevum, threatening to consume all cherished ideas, Kael must confront the possibility that his 'lack' of memories might be the key to saving everything, or the very source of the impending doom.
