Summary

Hidden in the Wayward East lies a city lost to time: Silvershore. With silver sands twinkling in the spring sunlight, cool waves of the Wayward sea lapping at its docks, and violet crystal monoliths jutting from the surrounding desert sands, Silvershore is a place of beauty... and of mystery. Every city has its secrets. A secret city has even more. And though Olala wants to learn the secrets of Silvershore, though she wants to make this strange city her home... she may soon find that what happens in secret shadow is more than she bargained for. Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay.

0:00.0	Ah, good evening, Traveler, and welcome to the Pinopera.
0:07.0	Tonight's tale is...
0:11.0	The Silvered Secrets.
0:16.0	From what little we've seen of Silver short, I still can't quite believe that a city like this can be real.
0:30.0	As we walked here alongside the canals that sneak through the streets, I saw so many people and creatures and homes.
0:37.0	At a glance, it looks like other cities I've seen, but when I look closer, there, that hinged glass on a building's top floor.
0:44.0	That isn't a window. It's a door. An all manner of winged creatures take off and land from it.
0:50.0	A five-story lump of clay looks like a sculpture until you go close enough to see the inhabitants that crawl outside it.
0:55.0	Turn my men the size of my finger, dragging tools and materials to they know where for they know why.

1:36.0	No. Then yes, I am whining.
1:39.0	Ugh. Caroline, I won't be gone long. I promise.
1:45.0	And there is plenty of silver shore out the window.
1:48.0	You settled us in a human district. I might as well look out the window back on the northern wilds.
1:53.0	Then read a book or something. It isn't my job to keep you entertained.
1:56.0	I'd love to, but you won't even let me go out to get a book.
2:00.0	Ola-la.
