description Shadows who feed on stories. Bleeding the magic from one Earth after another, until there is nothing left but vague memories and fairytales.
This is the world we live in. An Earth from which the magic has all but been drained dry. If gods remain, they are silent. Spirits, faerie, ghosts -- all banished to the realm of myth and story. The sea serpents and the dragons turned out to be giant oarfish and fossilised dinosaur bones. Most people believe in what they can see, and touch, and taste, and little else. The worse it gets, the less anything matters. Life itself seems to be suffering from depression.
Except for a chosen few who know better. On their shoulders rests the responsibility to stem the tide: To remember.
Come to Chincoteague. We have ponies. (declared, 35m)
