/* Tales of the Duskwhisper
   Three looks built from one set of parts. Night elf pages (.world-elf) are moonlit Teldrassil:
   violet night, silver moonlight, moonwell teal, hanging lanterns. Human pages (.world-storm) are
   Stormwind: blue and gold, lion heraldry, carved stone, with Duskwood's lantern light. The home
   page (.world-home) stands between the two shores. No scripts; all artwork is in /assets/art. */
