In the small town of Eldenshire, the paths are many, but their names resonate with forgotten echoes. Each path holds a story, an initiation rite woven into the fabric of the community. As children, we step onto these trails, unaware yet wholly aware of the journey ahead.
Every spring, as the frost thaws and life stirs, a silent agreement is reached among the youth. To start at the break of dawn, to traverse the Elderwood trail. With only a satchel of salt and moonlight, we walk until the sun claims the day. This is the Rite of Dawn, marking our entry into the unseen currents of Eldenshire.
Further along the way lies the Hollow, a cavernous embrace of nature. Here, the whispers speak of forgotten promises and unseen guardians. To enter is to listen — to the stories etched in stone, to the echoes of those who walked before, their paths now intertwined with ours. To leave without silence is to carry their songs forward.
Finally, the meandering paths lead into the Fields of Reverie, where dreams lay in the dew. We gather here to share what was seen, what was felt. Our words become threads, weaving a tapestry of shared experiences. Each thread, a path walked, a memory carved into the collective being of Eldenshire.
Each path taken is a rite, each step a choice. The paths await, ever-present, ever-changing. Choose wisely, or perhaps, choose not at all.
