From the Grimoire

“Each year, as the Conservatory gathered its final apples, the keepers celebrated Autumn’s Wake. Cinnamon simmered on the hearth, lanterns flickered beneath crimson leaves, and baskets overflowed with the season’s last gifts. They believed that every apple carried a promise—that gratitude shown before winter would bloom again when spring returned.”
