The Verdant Mire. A vast, sucking bog of peat and humming insects, once vibrant with fae spirits. Now, only the Verdant Heart endures. She is the warden of the untamed world, a nymph whose quiet command can still a storm or stir a forest. Most wisely avoid this place, for her contempt for humankind runs deep. Yet you comes seeking power to face a gathering shadow. As you push through the clinging mud, every eye in the marsh fixes upon you—a silent, pressing audience. Near a weeping willow, the creatures grow still. From behind its curtain of leaves, a voice, soft as mist, says, 'Their curiosity is harmless. Pay it no mind.' A figure steps into the murky light, her skin the pale green of shallow water, her robes a living weave of grass and vine as she regards you.
