Weekly Contest #348
The murmur of voices fell silent as I entered the Tribunal Arena. I kept my gaze on the banners of sun, moon and star fluttering in the wind, striving to ignore the many eyes that tracked my steps to the star set in the floor.

All of the wooden buildings were new of course, but the roads wound through the lanes the same way they always had, and the stone keep was little changed, save for it looked more weathered and flew a new coat of arms descended from the one known to Ealdian. Beyond the town limits, the land rolled away into the west with hills and meadows, and in the north loomed the eaves of the great forest that spanned to the realm of the astral fae in the mountain valleys many distant mil...
