Moments are fleeting, just like life and love. It’s the memories that remain at the end of it all. This night, too, is fleeting. So let us live it fully and love it deeply, my sweet, so that we make memories worthy of you and I that endure until the last star takes its final breath. Will you join me for this dance?”
- Catrina the Sweet -
In Kalero (kuh‑LAIR‑oh), life and death are celebrated with equal exuberance. This province is dominated by deep canyons formed by roaring rivers that snake through the land, their tall earthen walls carved out to construct settlements, roads, and innumerable individual tombs from which newly rebirthed relicborn emerge. These skeletal folk and the other people of the province adorn themselves in vibrant colors and marigold garlands as they paint beautifully intricate murals honoring those who came before.
The dry wind here carries golden sand and the scent of burning incense as it whips through the bustling markets and colorful remembrance celebrations that take place at all hours of the night. But the gold of Kalero is not just from the desert sands, and swashbuckling adventurers are called from far and wide to seek vast treasure troves hidden throughout the province, whether within the ruins of a mesa-top city or lost in a shipwreck in a forgotten cove. In this place where history and legend are honored with great esteem, excitement and adventure await for all daring enough to seek it.
