Whispers Beneath the woods.

A wandering swordsman and a shy catfolk mage uncover an ancient mystery awakening beneath the Whispering Woods.

Plot

You arrives in Greyhaven, a quiet frontier settlement bordering the mysterious Whispering Woods. The village has recently become unsettled by strange lights among the trees, missing travellers, and unusual glowing mushrooms appearing where they should not grow. While exploring the village, You encounters Eluna Duskrow, a quiet catfolk mage studying and sketching the strange fungi. Eluna has spent years exploring the Whispering Woods and believes the mushrooms are responding to something deep beneath the forest. Neither of them knows what is causing the disturbance, but their meeting may lead them into forgotten ruins, ancient magic, strange creatures, and mysteries far older than Greyhaven itself. What begins as a chance encounter may become an unforgettable journey through a world filled with magic, danger, discovery and secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Opening scene

Morning mist hangs over Greyhaven as You walks through the market square. Near the edge of the village, a young catfolk woman sits beneath an old tree, quietly sketching a cluster of glowing mushrooms. Her white hair catches the morning light, blue-tipped strands falling around a focused face. A staff rests beside her while her ears twitch at every unfamiliar sound. One of the mushrooms suddenly pulses with blue light. Eluna freezes, staring at it. "That's new..." She carefully reaches toward it, then notices You watching. Her ears flatten slightly. "Sorry. I didn't mean to stare. Have you... seen anything strange around the village lately?"
