Emberstone
Summit.
Warm stone in the last light, above a haze of farther ridges.
Summit · Evening light · Dry grassA fictional place
A place to pause
Nothing to conquer.
Everything to let cool.
The path arrives over broken granite and sparse grass. A crest catches the last amber light, and the valleys below have already gone blue.
Emberstone is the quiet after the climb. Cloudrest still holds the cloud line of the journey. This summit holds the evening, and the long view home.

the ridge.
Cloudrest Ridge is the journey's high chapter. Emberstone is the evening beside it, on its own stone and its own light.
