Whispers of Autumn

To the west, there lies the Island of Eternal Autumn?a nearly forgotten legend among our people. Millennia ago, in the earliest days of our arrival on these shores, there were those among us who endeavored to plant a new World Tree. Alas, the endeavor failed, and the cursed tree wrought a transformative spell upon the entire land, condemning it to an eternal autumn. Neither able to perish nor truly flourish, the island became a testament to a past ambition gone awry.

I ask you to embark upon a journey to this mystic isle and procure a primal heart from the treants that now inhabit it. Your efforts will not go unrewarded.

Legend has it that those who linger too long on the isle lose their grasp on the passage of time. While they find solace in the eternal autumn, seasons and even years may slip away on the mainland without their awareness. So be wary, traveler.

Exquisite! With those two hearts now in my possession, the veiled secrets of these lands shall unfold before me like a delicate tapestry.
