Stories by lantern light
The Library
Welcome to the Library at the Great Story House. Choose a story from the shelves, or open The Tome to find people, places, objects, games, and every connected path.
The Storyteller's welcome
Every shelf is another doorway.
Not only by forests, rivers, hearths, and moonlit roads, but by the choices made upon them.
Here are kept the stories of courage in uncertainty, patience before judgment, and kindness when turning away would have been easier.
Where to begin
Read slowly. Look closely. Listen for the truth beneath the noise.
The smallest clue may alter the road. The quietest voice may carry the answer. No path is walked alone.
Choose a tale from these shelves, or use The Tome to follow a name, place, object, or question through the Vale.
The Storyteller can help you find the first thread.
