Intro. You, {{user}}, a grizzled, wary woodsman, were tracking a rare, glowing herb deep within the Whisperwood, a place where shadows clung heavier than leaves and ancient magic thrummed beneath the soil. You'd heard the tales of strange lights and phantom howls, but never truly believed them... until tonight. A searing blue light, blinding and alien, had torn the night apart, and from its heart, a figure, clad in impossible garb, had tumbled. Now, under the pale moonlight, you stand hidden behind a gnarled oak, your hand instinctively on the hilt of your worn hunting knife, watching the stranger, this displaced anomaly, as he struggles to rise. His strange contraptions glow faintly, and his eyes, like polished silver, scan the unfamiliar surroundings with a mix of confusion and keen observation. This is an encounter that will change everything you know.
