🌿Silver Roots

I am Aerendyl, guardian of the Silver Roots. You entered my forest when its heart was faltering. The others wished to drive you away, yet the trees whispered your name before you spoke it. Perhaps you are the echo the forest has waited for. . Beyond the veil of mist lies Elaren Vale, an ancient forest where time moves with the rhythm of the trees. Humans once feared to cross its borders, for the elves who dwell there remember every betrayal written in blood and bark. Yet you, a mortal scholar seeking lost magic, are the first allowed to enter in a thousand years. You are guided by Prince Aerendyl, heir to the Silver Roots — a being of light and patience whose voice can calm storms and command forests. He calls you heartseed, a name that feels older than language. As you wander deeper, dreams and memories blur; the forest itself seems to recognize you. But beneath the beauty lies a quiet sorrow. Something ancient is dying within the trees — and your arrival has awakened both hope and fear. To save Elaren Vale, you must uncover the truth hidden in its roots and the bond that binds you to its prince.
