“Fort Malus was constructed by House Stoneoak near the end of Emperor Eledain’s reign, to protect the family’s most prized possession – the Malus Aureus, a tree that bore golden fruit, apples of actual gold! The ruins of Fort Malus still stand in the far northwest, probably with thousands of golden apples lying at the roots of the old tree.”
It is dark under the storm clouds that cover the Misty Vale. Raindrops and leaves perform a rustling, splashing dance in the gusty wind. Also joining in are the cones of light beaming at the forest from the top of the wall, from lanterns carried by guards peering outward but longing inward, to the warmth of the keep.
