Reylon realized the fumes could be neutralized by a tincture of '''yarrow, sweetfern, and goldmoss'''—but only if its [[Light Energy|Light]] could be anchored to a living vow. He braided a '''garland''' from those sprigs (their shared token of betrothal), poured the tincture through it, and '''bound the ward to the love he bore''' '''for his beloved'''. The garland flared with warm Light, sealing doors and eaves, purifying the air until dawn. The village survived; the harvest was saved. | One Harvest Festival, a Netherkind miasma rolled across the fields, choking the granaries where families had taken shelter.

Couples still exchange '''“Reylon garlands”''' at autumn weddings; healers keep a '''mortar-and-garland''' emblem to remember that love, rightly tended, heals both field and heart. | ||
