When the tide goes back, the calm inhabitants of Lindon sometimes see strange ruins appear. Then, their heart fills with both desire and sadness.

There was a great realm, it is said, the land of every tale. Elven princes with red feathers on their helmets waged war. Pale black knights died, looking at their doomed reflection in some deep river where gold shines.

To fishermen eager for human and elvish stories, that land seems more true that their own cities : moors where beasts and things are gifted with speech, in which great works always end up tinged with blood.

Quand la mer se retire, les calmes habitants du pays de Lindon voient parfois d'étranges ruines apparaître. Leur cœur alors s'emplit de désir et de tristesse.

Il y eut un grand royaume, dit-on, pays de tous les contes. Des princes elfes aux heaumes ornés de plumes rouges y faisaient la guerre. De pâles chevaliers noirs y sont morts, contemplant leur reflet maudit dans de profonds fleuves où miroitait l'or.

Aux pêcheurs avides d'histoires humaines et elfiques, ce pays semble plus véridique que leurs propres cités : landes où bêtes et choses sont douées de paroles, où les grandes œuvres finissent toujours par se teinter de sang.
