⚰︎ Chapter 0:
In the dead of night, a fierce trembling woke them all, villagers and the creatures below alike. Houses shook loose from their foundations, people were thrown from their beds, guards stationed along the roads were swept away by an unforgiving force no one could see through the nightly mist. When the earth settled, soldiers scrambled to assess the damages and assist the people, and as the sun rose, the people of Wyndameer watched the fog melt away to reveal a new and chaotic land far from home. The Baron, who had left earlier that evening for a trip to the capitol, was assumed to be lost in the destructive chaos.
The fae-kind below had huddled up together on the Life-Tree's island while the roots held the trembling cave walls. Rocks and debris spilled below, crashing into the water, the trees, and some knocking off branches of the great glowing tree itself. The tunnel workers of Mystrock Keep fled deeper into the caves, and some into the Aurun Amaya to seek shelter. In that moment, hostilities were briefly forgotten as the workers and the fae kind clinged to one another.
The least advanced of all the regions, the people of Io Dagda hold the strongest connection to magic, however the necrotic nature of DyMnNo-γ can become a risk to their people and the Life-Tree.
A Doctor, taking notes on different regions and their threat levels, managed to make reports enough to start a library that will become public for all to reference. These reports even have strange anomalies that have appeared within the chaos. A report on Gummy Bears? No, these Gummy Bears were life-sized, and feral, and were here for about a week before they disappeared. Apparently they are violent..
While the Gummy Bears were being confronted in Io Dagda, within DyMnNo-γ another threat took hold.

On the nature side of things, the new Life Tree was confronted, questioned, and allowing more knowledge to grow. They're learning that the rooting system stretches further down and further out than expected. Those who have a connection to known life trees, world trees, trees of knowledge, and so forth, would feel a connection to this tree, along with something much deeper below.
Connections to DyMnNo-γ are growing.
Halls of Fire and Steel have been working with the (FBG) Rip & Tear to get connections made between the two regions. Food, weapons, personal - almost anything has been discussed and worked for, attempting to gain peace, at least between the two groups.
On the other side of things, Knights have been becoming more aggressive to anyone they see that resemble the fae. As the fae typically remain underground, some have been surfacing up on the lands under the group name: (FBG) Kinsfolk of Aurun Amaya.
