Chimper #605
Should a merchant pray for safe passage through The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, tradition dictates they whisper two names to a guiding flame: Miyonosuke and Samansa. Before their time, the Highlands were an impassable maze of shimmering illusions cast by the monoliths. Miyonosuke was a simple trader whose heart belonged to Samansa, a soul as brilliant as the sunset over the peaks. When a magical tremor separated them, trapping Samansa in an unreachable valley, Miyonosuke refused to let the Highlands win. Fueled by a singular, intense focus, they hung the first guiding lantern. Then another, and another, each one powered by a crystal that burned away the deceptive magic, creating a single, true path through the chaos. That road not only reunited the lovers but became the bedrock of all trade. Their love story is now the first entry in every merchant's ledger.
