The story of Lumen the Cloud Shepherd
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
The dark face and broad ochre coat stand out against the pale fog. Blue stripes on the scarf repeat the cooler colors of the valley. The low wall gives the gesture a clear point of reference, showing how close the drifting cloud has come to the path that runs along the ridge.
Lumen starts on the side of the hill where the mist is moving uphill. One end of the staff catches a loose fold of cloud, and a slow turn pulls it across the wall. A fast turn breaks the fold into pieces that settle again before the shepherd can reach the next bend.
Farmers below the ridge leave the upper paths to Lumen until the morning is clear. They can tell how much work remains from the clouds that spill across the lowest gaps. On a calm day, the shepherd can leave one thin band where it shades the grazing ground until noon.
The hooked staff and a coat suited to exposed ground give the character a role within the landscape. Lumen fits a pastoral fantasy setting where the first task of the morning is to make a road visible.
