Situation
Moonshade Grove, the last sacred woodland in the region, bleeds black, corrosive sap from its ancient Ivorywood trees. Lyra, the grove’s dryad guardian, cannot halt the blight and has sunk into a silent, sorrowful trance. Carvings of the grove’s destruction now scar revered monuments, stoking unrest. The council dares not accuse a rival nation, but quietly seeks those with the skill—and the discretion—to find the poison’s source and the hand behind the carvings.
