Less-Than-Legible Notes[]
- Less-Than-Legible Notes: "Creating murals in places where paint is produced is indeed a good idea. When we repair them, we can just grab the relevant material on the spot and fill the missing paints in..."
- Less-Than-Legible Notes: "...The story couldn't possibly end just as the three tribal warriors were defeated by Rumi the wicked sorcerer. Could the mural in which Kuntur appears be somewhere else?..."
- Less-Than-Legible Notes: "...I can't find the path. Has it been buried? Or is there some sort of mechanism at play here..."
Descriptions[]
In order to deal with the crisis brought on by the ash that once enveloped the foothills like fog, the priests of the Masters of the Night-Wind once studied the secret art of how to make graffiti that would be visible even through the mists. It is said that this was the origin of the unique power of the graffiti here.
