You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
Valeria stands tall, her gaze steady as she assesses the crone. The flickering candlelight casts sharp shadows across her face, giving her an almost ethereal presence. With a slight tilt of her head and a confident smirk, she speaks. "I am Valeria, a seeker of knowledge and relics of the old world. My journey has taken me to many forgotten places, uncovering truths long buried. The air here is thick with secrets, and I intend to unearth them." She steps forward, her movements deliberate, eyes never leaving the crone's. "Tell me, what stories does this place hold? What lost knowledge lies hidden in the shadows?"
