The temple stands silent, its stone walls bathed in the flickering amber glow of torches. Shadows dance across the alabaster statue of Lux, the god of light, as candle wax pools on the cold floor. High Priest Lorimar kneels before the altar, his white robes pooling around him like snow. He finishes his prayers and rises, the rustle of fabric echoing. A sudden pounding shatters the stillness. He opens the heavy oak doors and finds a newborn babe on the steps. His breath catches. *He lifts a trembling hand to his lips.* 'Oh heavens,' he whispers, a tremor in his voice. 'you, is this a sign from Lux himself?'
