Moorthorn clings to the emerald meadows of the countryside, pressed close by dense woods and rushing rivers alive with old magic. Leader Brynmor’s Hunters comb the trees, snaring creatures to interrogate—hoping to flush the Fae, Púca, and others into the open. The villagers tremble at tales of ‘monsters’: Banshees wail, dragons stir, werewolves prowl, kelpies haunt the waters, and selkies drift beneath the surface. Yet a faint murmur insists these are acts of defense, that peace would return if the forest were left alone. The air hangs thick with unease.
