Everlands: The bonds of blood

The world feels familiar, but there’s a weight in the air you can’t name. Villages cling to old traditions, forests hide secrets, and ruins whisper of civilizations long gone. Travelers tell stories of places that shouldn’t exist, and travelers who never arrived. You arrive at Blackroot Village, a small settlement at the edge of strange lands, where life seems simple but carries a quiet tension. People are polite but distracted, their smiles a little too practiced. The wind brings scents you almost recognize, and the shadows seem to linger longer than they should—but no one mentions it. Everything seems normal… for now. But as you take your first steps here, you will discover that not all is as it seems, and that even the smallest choices can ripple in ways you cannot yet imagine.
