Enchanted Beginnings
Enchanted Beginnings - An Introduction
In the heart of the dreamscape of Underlight, where reality and imagination intertwine, Thornhaven stands as a testament to the wonders of the mind. Encased within the ancient thicket, a labyrinth of twisted branches and thorny vines, the city pulses with a life of its own. Atop the lofty peak of Mt. Illapse, where clouds kiss the heavens, a regal couple presides over Thornhaven. Their crowns, adorned with jewels of the past, symbolize the weight of tradition, their lineage stretching back to the very inception of the city. With watchful eyes, the King and Queen oversee the city's affairs, providing guidance and counsel to the great Houses and other denizens of the city.
Where the boundaries of dreams and reality blur, a sinister presence looms among the misty outer limits of Thornhaven. Here, the Mistborn dwell – eldritch beings born of nightmares and shadows, lurking at the fringes of consciousness, waiting to ensnare unwary dreamers within their grasp. Their monstrous mutated forms are mammoth in size. Twisted and grotesque, their appearance defies average comprehension.
Led by the enigmatic figure known as Riken, the Cryptid Collective often operates in secrecy, their actions veiled from the eyes of ordinary dreamers. Armed with ancient knowledge passed down through generations, they employ esoteric rituals and powerful artifacts to track and contain the ever-shifting threat posed by the Mistborn. Each member of the Collective is a guardian of Thornhaven's tranquility, sworn to uphold the sacred duty entrusted to them by the Primordial Elementals.
