“Charon is a ferryman, who fords the ancient river, and when you come across him, you’re sure to feel a shiver. He’ll tell you of your futures, and of your many pasts — he’ll teach the arts of sailing, and ‘rigging ancient masts’. He’ll train you to your birthrights, and assure you of much more, and then, before you land he turns to stars, and trees, and lore.” – ds
