The Silence |Primer|

On a night that began like any other, the solstice festival had barely ended. People gathered in joyous celebration, thankful to the gods of abundance, but as midnight fell, their prayers were met only by silence. When dawn broke, the only sound was the eerie quiet of ruin.

The once-fertile fields lay desecrated, and in their midst, the figures of loved ones—now twisted and lifeless—strolled like ghosts among the crops. Rumors spread of forbidden magics powerful enough to challenge death itself, yet none could stem the relentless tide of corruption known as the Rot.

Six months later, the survivors have slowly regrouped, forging new alliances and scavenging hope from the ruins. In this fragile new era, a handful of brave souls gather once again, united by the desperate need to understand the ancient force behind the calamity and to reclaim what has been lost.

Your party is among these few who escaped the initial devastation. As you traverse haunted ruins, enchanted wilds, and forgotten sanctuaries, every step will test your resolve and ignite the spark of renewal in a land gripped by decay.

The fate of Festrya hangs in the balance—its future resting on your courage, your wisdom, and your willingness to defy the darkness that seeks to reclaim the world.
