These are stories within the story, quietly whispered by the locals as a warning to unwary newcomers. Be warned: these are stories which will never be openly acknowledged, so don’t even try to mention them outside of this circle...

With glowing eyes and an uncanny ability to evade hunters, these creatures may be more than mere beasts. The adventure begins as soon as you arrive. You delve into the lives of the village residents before gathering the courage to travel deeper into the forest.
