What is recorded here
Morthos stands at the edge of the city, a vertical mark in the green where human memory thins. It may have guided traders, marked a boundary or simply watched the field change hands across centuries. Ravensdale has grown around it, yet the stone remains the oldest address in the area, patient and unchanged while roads, gardens and names came and went.
