The Runners come from a far away land, a land only dreamed of by few. Crossing the boundries of this land and that is all but impossible save by the mist. The Runners have a handful of mystics among them known as the Mistwalkers, beings that are able to speak with the mist and coax the everpresent greyness to do their bidding. With the original Runners who came through the mists was the mistwalker Argig. An ancient man, he had been with the Runners longer than any living person could remember. It was he who reached into the greyness and opened the portal, it was he who spoke to the mist and announced that a new homeland had been found. And in this image is a moment captured in time, as Argig creeps from his small stone and thatch hut, as he does each evening when the sun is all but gone over the horizon and the soft swirls of night have begun to coalesce into blue-grey puddles of velvet across the landscape.
