Where Mountains Remember

More about Where Mountains Remember

The pilgrims say the mountains were here before memory.
The scholars say memory came from the mountains.
Both are right in ways no one is ready to admit.

On the world of Eos Prime, stone keeps its own history—
not carved or written, but felt, deep in the bedrock, where time settles like dust.
Those who walk among the peaks swear the air is thick with recollection,
and that the ruins built into the cliffs are not abandoned…
only waiting.

The Order of the Veil has guarded these heights for generations,
knights in black armor sworn to protect the Resonant Temples—
vast, floating domes that hum with ancient, otherworldly purpose.
Most who come to them seek answers.
Some seek power.
A rare few seek forgiveness.

But when a forbidden star rises in the violet sky and the temples awaken,
the mountains begin to dream aloud—
and the dreams are not gentle.

Now a lone guardian stands at the threshold of a secret older than empires,
as pilgrims gather from across the system, drawn by a calling
they cannot explain.

Whispers travel through the high passes:
the stones are remembering too much.
The world is nearing a truth it was never meant to survive.

And the only question left is whether memory
will save Eos…

…or finally break it.
