Dearest Wanderer of Forgotten Lands,

Welcome.

I, the Curator of the Ashen Archives, welcome you to the first page of the Umbral Mail, a limited dispatch sent not through sky nor circuit, but by older rites: quiet ink, fading parchment, and the breath of stories that refused to die.

These letters are fragments, torn from broken myths long buried beneath ash. Within each sealed envelope, you shall receive one such fragment: a relic in words, accompanied by a sacred image from the archives. All a secret to be releaved each cycle, a new letter to uncover as it is slipped into your very home.

You are not asked to understand them. Only to remember. Only to keep them.

Let this first letter mark the beginning of your passage through the Ashen Archives — a place where silence speaks, ink remembers, and light is a thing that bleeds.

I hope to see you soon,

The Curator of the Ashen Archives
