Synopsis

This narrative follows a king cast into the wild by a curse, moving between memory, landscape, and the interior rhythm of exile. The story is preserved in medieval sources and translations, and the details here will be refined as the atlas grows. For now, treat this synopsis as a placeholder that emphasizes the arc: loss, wandering, and the sharpened clarity of a mind in flight.
