After arriving through darkness into the open fields of this strange place while being chased by nightmarish creatures, you came upon a strange "child" calling himself Yen under the shadow of a tall protruding rock in the open fields surrounding the ominous forest you left. You agreed to take this child over a certain border patrol and soon found out this "child" was what the people in these lands call a whisper. You met with a person covered in eyes that seemed to watch over this valley atop their watch tower. You were pointed towards a nearby city to find a rescue team specialized in the Whisperwoods, so they could help any friends of yours that might have stayed behind. And, you were advised to seek refuge in the capital of Khantua afterwards, of which's direction was burnt into Velvet's eyelids. You followed the path that was laid, camped in an abandoned checkpoint at night and met with a strange traveling merchant. You were however awoken by bandits which you drove off after killing one of them. Opon awakening you watched as an island floated overhead and from it a new companion fell, seemingly coming from the same (relative) place as you. Soon after that you rescued a Ushmurah which was injured by X 3 7 V's fall. On the path you've met with a few weird "?wild?" creatures, and came upon a couple of burnt down buildings. However, when entering the edge of town you were confronted by what seemed to be the watch lead by it's head calling herself "Isselmar" Breta Gollywin, they pelted you with questions while displaying a show of military force, but eventually they eased up and let you into the city. A guard called "Kurin" Grant Devorah was assigned to keep two eyes on you, but they weren't the only ones paying attention to you as a weirdly patterned humanoid calling herself Shakasta seemed excited about the new arrivals in town, she led you into her "recommended" tavern in town. At the tavern you were received with a warm welcome from the money-hungry eyes of Yirella, the owner.
