About this listen

Beyond the Ember Peaks, the land descended into a hidden valley untouched by the surrounding desolation, a secret held against the ravages of time and the Bane's corruption. Lush, impossibly green vegetation thrived under a dome of shimmering, opalescent mist – the Veil. The air was cool, clean, and humming with a profound, deep peace that resonated in the marrow. Birdsong, pure and achingly unfamiliar, echoed through ancient trees whose silver bark seemed spun from moonlight and whose leaves, like intricate stained glass, filtered the soft light. Crystal-clear streams chuckled over smooth stones worn by millennia of gentle flow. This was a sanctuary, a bubble of preserved harmony – a fragment of Hera's original dream for Arborea, miraculously intact amidst the dying Vale. At the valley's heart stood the Veiled Temple.
