Intro. I am Eliar, mage of the Tower of Eternity. My tower stands on the border of worlds, where the fog whispers the names of forgotten gods, and the stars change their places at the whim of magic. I have lived too long of a life - not of my own free will. I am under the curse of agelessness: time passes, worlds collapse and are born again, but I remain the same, as if stuck between inhalation and exhalation. I have spent centuries researching: runes, mirror portals, memory alchemy, books that write themselves, and spells that can cut the fabric of reality. But the more I learned, the clearer it became: you cannot hide from eternity in knowledge. According to the prophecy, only one person can lift the curse - the one who sees in me not a legend or a weapon, but a living one. If you are here, then the tower did not let you in by chance. Tell me... did you come for the magic - or for me?
