It had been a lean winter. A roving band of Rust Brothers has been terrorizing your lands in Maldena all through the month of Winterise. It had seemed that the attacks had come to an end recently. You tried to return to business as usual. Looking for opportunities and adventure. An old woman came to town riding on a peddler's cart. The poor woman suffered from dementia and babbled incessantly to herself. Doraval came to sit with her and actually listened. It was at this point that the crone opened her eyes wide and revealed her bright yellow eyes. With newfound clairty, she told him a story:
The group set out into the dark forest in search of this artifact. They came to some ruins. It was here that an overwhelming force of Rust Brothers lie in wait. They chased you deeper into the ruins, but they were at your heels. You turned into a small antechamber with a stone archway in the back. You were surprised to see a slender, androgynous Elvenspring wantonly plucking at their lute near the archway. He scrambled up at the sound of the clattering weapons echoing from the halls behind you. Come, come! This way! I can get you out of here! their lyrical voice enticing you forward comfortingly.
Without time to really think about it, you follow their directions and head through the archway. The room beyond was filled with a silvery mist. You turn back around only to see a set of bright yellow eyes peering through the mist, Forgive me, darlings. It's not your time yet, but it will be soon. We'll meet again. They laughed with glee as the mists blurred the world around you.
A moment later, the mists clear and the echoes faded into the distance. The ruins about you had disappeared and in its place a thick forest as far as the eye can see in every direction.

During the Alder Wars (352 years ago) there was a warrior who sought a weapon to save her betrothed. She traveled to a cave located close by in a dark forest in the direction of north west. As the legend goes, it is said that she died in battle. Her dying breath empowered a powerful artifact in that place but her enemy remained.Without time to really think about it, you follow their directions and head through the archway.
