Heroic Knight Saga: The Shore at the End of the World
Listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99ndCvhpvvg
A place perpetually in twilight. The vast ocean reaches out endlessly, disappearing into the horizon. Crumbling ruins are strewn about the shore and some stone pillars reach out of the water in the distance, but most of the ancient structures that used to be here have fallen into the sea. There's a tavern and an inn for travelers passing through and a few houses for local residents, but not much else. Though many have set out to discover what's beyond this place, magic cannot reach far enough to see if anything exists on a farther shore and any ships that set out always reach the same impassable, never-ending storm and must return. As far as anyone knows, the world ends here.

今日はレナード・バーンスタインの誕生日。1918年の生まれ。
生家はマサチューセッツ州ローレンスのジュニパー・ストリートにあった。現在は別の建物が建っていて住民以外は立ち入り出来ず、バーンスタインの生家があったことを示すものは何も残されていない模様。https://maps.app.goo.gl/EJJkC6JFeDiVXdva8
