Riah and the Brave Forest
Long ago, deep in an endless valley, sat the decaying fragments of a luxuriant forest. On the eve of Darkness’ rise to power, the great sorceress Elise, whose magical abilities rivaled that of Darkness, laid her body at the heart of a dying forest. In the moments before her death, she cast her voice to the edges of the valley. She fell to her knees and proclaimed to the sky that another would emerge to oppose Darkness again.
