The Keeper

Raud, known as the Keeper, patrols a bleak, snow‑bound landscape where ancient stone houses cling to frozen ridges. When a band of thieves steals a priceless treasure, he sets out with his trusty hound Brave and a makeshift ice‑staff, determined to recover what was taken before the thieves can reach the hidden Starfolk. The chase takes him across storm‑laden valleys, under low‑lying clouds that promise a night of heavy snow, testing both his skill and his resolve.

The world he guards bears the scars of forgotten wars and the ghostly remnants of once‑great starships that vanished when the Ice‑Father rose from the north. Inside his modest Keeper’s House, dim lumicon light flickers over stone walls, while his loyal dogs—Brave and Bold—await his return, their presence a quiet comfort in the endless cold. As Raud follows the fresh tracks, the story unfolds as a tense, atmospheric pursuit that blends rugged survival with a lingering mystery of a lost civilization.
