🌟 Elderglade: A Haven in the Forest
Elderglade was a secluded elven community nestled in the heart of the ancient Eldergrove forest. This was a place where the laughter of children echoed through the trees, and the wisdom of the elders was passed down through generations. The villagers lived in harmony with the forest, their homes built amidst the towering elder trees, connected by a network of bridges and walkways. The village was a beacon of joy and tranquility, a testament to the elven people's love for nature and magic. Read more about Kael's early life in Elderglade here.
🌑 The Fall of Elderglade: Shadows Descend
The peace of Elderglade was shattered when a sinister necromancer, drawn by tales of an ancient artifact, descended upon it with an army of undead. The villagers fought bravely, their magic and weapons clashing with the relentless tide of darkness. But the necromancer's power was too great, and Elderglade fell, its laughter replaced by the silence of the grave. Discover more about the necromancer's wrath here.
🔮 The Artifact: A Whisper in the Ruins
In the aftermath of the destruction, Kael discovered the Whispering Stone Cube among the ruins of Elderglade. This ancient relic, believed to contain the collective knowledge and secrets of a long-lost civilization, became a beacon of hope and a source of strength for Kael. The whispers of the cube guided him on his path, a constant reminder of Elderglade and the legacy he carried. Learn more about the Whispering Stone Cube here.

Elderglade may have been destroyed, but its legacy lives on in Kael.
