She sits among the whispering tombs, eyes glowing like coals beneath ash. Emberseer does not speak of endings—she gathers what remains. Her hands cradle memory, her breath carries harvest. She is the keeper of reflection, the guide through fading light.

- Reflection
- Harvest
- Memory
The Gathering marks the turning inward. It is a season of collecting stories, honoring what was, and preparing for what will be. Light begins to wane, and the Grove listens more deeply.
