Emberveil

The record

The keepers' commonest entry — and the one they trusted most.

Emberveil does not chase. It banks its fire and waits.

The keepers wrote that it watched one gate for nine years. The right rider walked through on the ninth.

Its measure

How it chooses

Riders who tested the bridge before crossing it, who turned back when a voice called — those answers bank its fire. It has never chosen anyone in a hurry.
