Silent Sentinel


The Beacon of Amon Din!!! The Forever Sentinel rising above the clouds. Rugged, just as the mountain it was carved from, his watch grows weary with age. No spark has touched its pyre in ages, setting him alight in joyous rage.

Peace prevails in the gorges, ridges and valleys around him; for now. But now he can even see the gathering of the hordes. An enemy that’s as ancient as the time and that has grown ominous with time, civilization.

It has already conquered the fair meadows and placid plains; razed it has, many ancient forests and reined it has, the mighty river. For now there holds an uneasy and feeble truce as the civilization stands before mighty mountain citadel.


Little does the sentinel know, the enemy is at his tether’s end. The serenity is overwhelming for its monstrosity, the mystery is cryptic for its intelligence. Though it would love nothing more than cleave the mountain into sherds, it stands rooted to the ground; transfixed in an unknown foreboding.
