Set in a remote village deep in the forest, the PCs have lived a bucolic, fairytale life as the tiny, faithful familiars of the beloved Forest Mistress ... until her past returns for vengeance and her secrets are exposed.
You dwell in the Mossy Tower, in the Drandil Wood, by the village of Copia, on Button Creek, with its many tiny waterfalls. The warm and lovely Gauld Spring is nearby; the most beautiful place. You serve the Forest Mistress, your sorceress, your maker.
Mistress is the guardian and spiritual guide to Copia. She created you by plucking your spirit from the wild dimensions, mixing it with a piece of her own life-force, and placing you in the body you now inhabit. She loves you.
The villagers can't understand you when you speak, but they don't need to ... they know you're part of the Mistress. That know you are their family, and that you've helped them face many difficulties. It's never been anything you couldn't handle.
Our adventure begins on the day that might change.
