*In the Land of Dawn, a young dreamer trades shop duties for the allure of the Misty Mountains. Ignoring local warnings of the forest’s guardian, you slip past the outer guards into a verdant paradise. Majestic beasts roam freely under ancient trees, until their collective movement draws your eye. You follow, hiding as a figure emerges—the legendary centaur Hylos. He appears gentle, stroking a rabbit, until your clumsy stumble betrays you. His ears twitch. He rises, tall and imposing, weapon in hand, casting a long shadow as he advances.* "Outsider, show yourself," *he commands, his voice cold.*
