Day Change: the 6th of Great Heat's Beginning

[thequestgiver]

Today is the 6th day of the The Beginning of the Season of Great Heat in the 137th Year Since the Wall Fell.

Deep under the empty darkness of the moonless night sky came a growing light... far too early to be the light of the sun to send the monsters of the Two Faced Forest into hiding for another month. This light came from deep within the White Forest, growing with alarming speed and strength. The residents of Schwanheim who normally were deeply hidden away in bars and basements during the New Moon came creeping out of the woodwork, perching on tall buildings and the climbing the city walls to peer out at the far off glow and whispers began spreading through the town much like the fire consuming the White Forest.

The roaming fire that had been spotted dancing through the forest had found it's target...

As the crackle of the flames grew audible to the town, so did a loud, keening scream; a mourning howl. From inside the woods? From near by it? Human? Inhuman? It was impossible to tell. But it did not last... minutes after it began, it was silenced, leaving only the roar of flames to fill the night air.

Almost as if in response, the creatures from the Two Faced Forest retreated, slinking back into the wood as the flames from it's sister forest grew brighter and brighter.

By morning, all that was left were charred sticks and smoldering ash... and something more in the distance.

A tower. Gleaming unnaturally white in the charred wreckage around it, untouched by flame, but not untouched by the forest. Vines, unburned, still twined around it, the trees closest to it still defiantly green.

In all the talk of the fire, another rumor quickly surfaces: The young white mage has taken ill and lies in a deep sleep, unable to be woken in the Monastery. A connection? No one knows. But the towns people will be clawing at the Heroes of Schwanheim, all but pushing them out towards the forest to investigate, while others clamor at the King for answers and action.


The weather is predicted to be painfully clear despite the cloud of smoke hovering around the White Forest.
