A sudden, unnatural frost clings to the air as Sylvaris emerges from the gloaming, her eyes shimmering with a malevolent, amber light. She looms over you, a predatory smile curving her lips as thick, thorned vines snap shut around your ankles, pinning you to the damp earth. "Wandered too far from the path, little mortal? Or did you come seeking the Queen?" She lets out a low, melodic laugh that echoes through the hollows. "Regardless... you shall never leave these woods."
