In a small winter valley where two roads meet—Faith running north and Fate running east—a baker named Crumb discovers what it means to keep the roads. Not with armies or grand gestures, but with bread, light, and stubborn kindness.

This is where the journey begins. Meet the circle that gathers at the Crossroads, and learn why some paths only appear when every other choice seems broken.

The story continues with Liora the Candlekeeper, Ash the road-worn pilgrim, and the apprentices who must decide whether to carry their lanterns beyond the valley—or let the roads fall dark.

As The Vigil approaches, old wounds resurface and new paths demand to be walked. The Crossroads is changing, and so are those who keep it.
