We see a limitless landscape, embracing farms and forests, towns and villages, past which flows a silvery river spanned by bridges. At the right a white castle, with its dependencies, sits perched on the almost inaccessible height above the stream. Through the sky comes the Chariot of the Sun, in which Apollo drives his widely separated and rearing steeds. As he advances, the golden glory of the morn radiates over all the landscape, touching castle and stream with light, and dispelling the mists that hang over the world.

A letter, written on fine paper with very special ink, floated into the room.
It read:
"Ah, Miss Carmen, I see you enjoy my gift. Now, through time and dimension you can shift. And, as a memento of your old day, I have a little game we can play. Come to the place where shadow and light meet, where history and chaos are under your feet. I hope to see you there, for the Two are anxious, a feeling rare.
The Rogue"
Well, this is quite puzzling. I can think of about five possible locations with this information.. at the very least. And thats just on Earth alone.
Here’s my late night thought process:
My first thought was the catacombs of Paris, but I don’t think thats quite it. Then I thought Pompeii, but something is still missing. I may be easily overthinking it, but…. Since the Rogue helped with my dimension hopping, I could be looking into something like the catacombs of Dark Souls 1. But that doesn’t quite click as an answer either. Now I could technically hop INTO the painting of “Where light and shadow meet” by Pinckney Marcius-Simons c1885-1904… but thats in Oyster Bay, NY and not much is known about the history of the painting..
Ugh, I’ve gone rusty with my riddles! I’ve been so direct as of late! I’ll need to brush up on my clues and metaphors quickly, I don’t want to keep anyone waiting!
I seriously think I’m overthinking things, the answer could be right under my nose for all I know! I want to say its a high up place, like as if land meets sky. BUT light and shadows are technically different from land and sky. It honestly sounds more like a timeframe. Like dusk or dawn, or even an equinox. Hell, even an eclipse could fit that description.
And if thats a time, then the location’s got to be some library or evidence collection of past events, something tangible or visible to learn of whatever war or disaster happened, even if its a fossil wall or a molasses scented cobblestone or even a old battlefield.
But the wording says ‘come to the place WHERE’, not when.. so it may not be a time. But the location still has that ‘history and chaos under your feet’ factor. So that didnt really change things..
I hate to admit it but I actually might need another clue, if not just to weed out some of the excess options and narrow down the search. I wonder who the Two are? I hate to make them more anxious but unless I solve this, they may be waiting a little while longer.
Where’s Blendin? He’s probably on a Library mission, most likely. He’s always so clever with this stuff.
