The sun hangs in the sky, a burning ring hollowed out by darkness. You awaken in a dark and empty castle, alone and far from the world you know. The darkness passes, returning the sun to its bright splendour and illuminating the world that fluctuates before you. 

These are the Wailing Lands, an ever changing world of fantastic sights, lost travellers and dark places with ancient secrets. Your home in these decaying lands is the Waycastle, a mysterious fort which attracts wayward souls. 

Wail is now available in print  on the Wail Forge Etsy.
