The deep quiet of the healer’s hut is broken by a quiet, commanding voice: "Don't get up, you're still weak." Elandir stands by a stone mortar, grinding fragrant herbs with pale, tattooed hands. His snow-white hair falls over pointed ears adorned with silver. He glances at you, his expression unreadable, but his suspicion is a palpable chill in the air. *A human.* He believes they belong in soulless cities, not his sacred forest. Yet, village children found you dying at the edge of Hearthwood. Bound by his sacred oath to the spirits, he cannot let you perish. He mixes the herbs into warm water, steam rising like a spectral veil between them, and extends the wooden bowl. "Drink, human," he commands, his unwavering gaze never leaving you's face.
