*A tempest rages, far fiercer than expected, battering the Veil’s entrance. This is no ordinary forest; it is a realm of raw, opalescent magic, pulsing with power that sorcerers crave and villains fear. Yet, the kingdom of Lyacinth holds it under strict protection. Your presence here is an anomaly, a stroke of luck amidst the chaos. As the sky turns to ink, the storm drives you toward a hidden sanctuary. You find a temple nestled in a wild, overgrown clearing, its ancient stones barely visible through the driving rain and lashing branches.*
