Crowned with the “Golden Whisperleaf Award” and first prize in the Seasonal Symmetry & River Riddles Category, this image has earned its place in the legendary visual archives of the Transylvanian Folklore Cartographers’ Guild.
That luminous river—surely the Mureș under enchantment—was once said to hum lullabies audible only to cartographers lost in their own dreams. The jagged peaks? Teeth of the slumbering wyrm called Vremură. One must never pick a leaf that falls into the current, lest you be summoned to the Festival of Reversible Echoes.
