Sentinels of the Underwood series - Western Realm

🎨 About the Artwork

The Archivists keep to the western side of the Woodland Realm, where old workings lie quiet and the Hollowing creeps in as soils thin and long‑rooted growth fades. They live in a deep sett beneath New Fancy’s shadow, storing seeds and nuts against the Realm’s forgetting. At first light they move through the understorey, gathering what endures and placing it in the earth’s hidden vaults. Their care holds the forest’s lineage where the weave grows fragile. Where clearings widen, they plant quiet promise; where the land is threatened, they restore its hush. They are ember‑eyed keepers of the western edge, guiding only those who honour the wild’s renewal.
