Ruin has come at last... Act One

You have been chosen, either through sheer luck or bitter misfortune. I feel pity for you, but also feel a new purpose has been given. You must not falter now. The world depends on you for it. You have seen what the horrors have done to our beautiful countryside. They will continue until there is nothing left. This task falls entirely in your hands. Do you have the strength to see this through? Or has fate so cruelly given us no hope?   Story Beats   -Met the Academic   -Given the Flame of Hope   -Dispatched the first threat on the road ahead   -Arrived at the port city Trader's Plunder   -Met Aline Porter(Leader of Trader's Plunder)   -Learned of the Cultist threat and the Fanatic threat.   -Met the Hoarder   -Got the Griddle! and the War Horn!   -Leveled up to level 2   -Learned of the Spirit talker and Woodsman Tomas   -Entered the Forest of Spirits   -Saved Tomas from the Bandits   -Map of the West Confederacy acquired   -Rested at the now empty bandit camp   -Rode north to Vosaura and encountered the Fanatics for the first time   -Saved Anna Dyukova from a burning building   -Dispatched the Fanatics from the town center   -Dismantled the Burning Pile and "purified" the corpses   -Met Cerwyn, leader of the farmers who fought the Fanatics   -Met Bram, noble and former overseer of Vosaura   -Led the survivors back to Trader's Plunder   -Met Bonnie, scoutmaster of Trader's Plunder
