The Dream of the Whispering Willow

The scent of wet willow bark and ancient magic fills your mind as the world fades.

Before you stands Faewynn the Whispering Willow, her elven form inextricably woven into the silver-white wood of a colossal tree. Her voice, a melodic rustle of leaves, echoes in your soul. "Chandalen," she breathes, eyes glowing with bardic power.

"The Elves have fallen. The Vale is a tomb of black frost. But the trees you and the other Sylva-Curia planted have done more than grow; their roots have knit together across the Vale, forming a network Vexius cannot see." Her expression hardens. "Vexius remains hidden, but his shadow in the East has stepped into the light. Lady Lirielle, the Grave Whisperer, marches upon Thornwood. A Revenant and a Paladin of Vengeance, she leads a legion of rot, commanded by necromancers and a terrifying Dracolich."

Faewynn’s hand reaches toward you. "Rally the Lizardfolk and the Goblinoids. Strike with the speed of a falling tree. Vexius’s Sending Stone Network is active; the moment you are seen, the stone-bells will ring and reinforcements will swarm. You have only moments to kill a dragon and its mistress. Topple Lirielle, and you will force Vexius out of the shadows. Take back the Vale."

"Chandalen," she whispered, her eyes shimmering with the ethereal glow of bardic power. "You aren't alone in Ichoros. There are others ready to stand against this. There is Clapton the bard, the dissenter who risked everything to warn the people, and Ethlebeth, whose elven connections run deep. Caramet the Yadira, the rogue Iowa Smith, the mage Erik—even Leaf and Thereza have heard the grim tales of the atrocities Vexius has unleashed upon this land."

She steps closer, her voice with urgency. "But the final key is Welldone the one that Vexius should have eliminated when he had the chance. He is the villain's greatest mistake. Gather your friends and muster your forces; we have to strike now, before the window closes."
