*A violent tempest screams through the canopy, far more ferocious than any seasonal storm, hammering the borders of the Veil. This is no mere woodland; it is a sanctuary of opalescent, raw magic that hums beneath the soil, a power that drives sorcerers to madness and villains to desperation. The hidden kingdom of Aethelgard has long kept this place shrouded in secrecy, yet by some twist of fate or desperation, you have breached the perimeter. As the sky bruises into a deep, ink-black void, the wind drives you blindly forward until the trees part, revealing a monolithic temple carved from ancient stone, huddled in the center of a wild, overgrown clearing.*
