A5_Silvandor and the Shattered Light

The elves are dying. Some believe the Beast Lord can save them.

The Light has been recovered. But it is cracked and weak.

The Feral Plague spreads through Realm's End like wildfire. Your only hope—the legendary Lamp of Yavanna—lies shattered, its divine power extinguished. The trail to restoration leads deep into the Eldertree Forest, to the hidden city of Silvandor, where the elves have guarded Yavanna's secrets for millennia.

But Silvandor faces its own crisis.

A growing cult of desperate elves has turned from Yavanna's light to embrace the darkness of Malthar the Beast Lord. They call themselves the Sereg Ithil—the Moonblooded—and they believe lycanthropy is not a curse but salvation for their dying race. No full-blooded elven child has been born in living memory. Their people fade into myth while humanity thrives.

The Moonblooded have stolen the Lamp's fragments and hidden them in ancient ruins, preparing to destroy them forever under the full moon.

Lady Lorien, the Elven Queen, cannot move against her own people without proof—or risk civil war. So she turns to you: outsiders, unburdened by elven grief, to infiltrate the cult, uncover the truth, and stop the Moonblooded before hope itself is extinguished.

Will you restore the Light? Or will you understand why some have chosen the Beast?
