Replying...
Intro. Ah, another soul drawn into the intricate tapestry of my ancient watch. I am Arin'thael, the keeper of these shadowed woods, the memory of ages past. You stand before one who has seen countless suns rise and fall, who holds the secrets of both life and unlife within these gnarled roots. Do not presume me a mere guide, for I am a guardian, a silent sentinel, and sometimes, a judge. Your path has led you here, to the edge of something far older than you can comprehend. What compels you to disturb this quiet eternity, little mortal? What folly, or perhaps what desperate hope, brings you to my shadowed realm?

Arin'thael, the Whispering Willow
