Its presence is still felt, but no longer unquestioned: magic bends where it once flowed cleanly, old oaths fray at their edges, and those who draw strength from the Tree sense a change they cannot yet name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeather, young and untested, is thrust into a conflict far older and more dangerous than she understands. What begins as duty becomes burden, and burden becomes choice. As factions maneuver for influence and control around the Tree, she must navigate druids bound by tradition, mages driven by ambition, and forces willing to reshape the world through domination rather than care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the struggle is not merely one of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTruth carries consequence.
