Description

Yermah, a striking figure freshly escaped from the legendary city of Atlantis, rides out at dawn across the rolling grasses of a forgotten valley. Accompanied by his loyal horse Cibolo and the silent, leaping ocelot Oghi, he feels the wind’s exhilaration as he ventures beyond the towering temples of Tlamco, a vanished Llama metropolis hidden beneath the modern hills of what will one day be San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The narrative paints a vivid picture of an ancient civilization whose architecture once mirrored the heavens, and whose secrets linger in the very contours of the landscape.

Through lyrical prose, the story invites listeners to wander the border between myth and history, where the scent of dewy mornings and the rustle of wild oats stir the imagination. As Yermah explores this liminal world, the tale hints at deeper mysteries of a lost race, offering a gentle meditation on memory, place, and the timeless pull of adventure.
