Quote: Wrote:"Have you heard...? I don't believe you have. You can't have... Few have ever lived to tell the tale of what goes on within the... Garden of Divinity - I doubt most of it is even true! They would have to ascend a World Tree to even find the place. And, what goes up, rarely comes back down. However, lately, I hear the roots have darkened - blackened, even. Just what could even cause this?"

Synopsis: Through whispers of old and new, of humans and Druids... Of Spirits to some. The existence of an isolated 'Garden' seated within a World Tree has resurfaced to few. It had been rumored only the most mythical, and earthly-attuned, creatures have, and will, ever resided here. From Fae, to guardian beasts, to Higher Druids who commune with far greater spirits than one could imagine - some say even the Divine, Asena. The Garden gained its name due to a certain group of adventurers who'd once been graced with a stray drop of one of the many waterfalls and rivers flowing throughout the land, on the verge of death from the journey there, all of which had been restored from otherwise mortal wounds. Or so they say. Flowing White Oil, how could they even achieve this?
However, a single roaming adventurer claimed to have noticed... a group. A group of hooded beings, possessing some sort of luminous artifact, passing into the thicket which enshrouds that World Tree - in the thick of night. Ever since then, signs of decay have started to show, and grow. Primarily the Druids residing around the Tree have taken note of this - perhaps the spirits were, and are, disturbed. Perhaps this threatens the entirety of that Garden's existence. Not known as a job request, mayhaps Holly Hargrave had stumbled upon a faint plea of lesser spirits in meditation. The only thing that is certain, is that she plans to investigate; ascend the World
