Looking through the latest issue of The ABCs of Adventuring, you find a small article that piques your interest:
"In the unforgiving realm of Rathfall, where life is as fleeting as the mists that shroud the city, the pursuit of immortality takes curious forms. Death, whether from the insidious Blight or the cruel hands of criminals, lurks at every corner. However, a peculiar avenue to extend one's stay on the material plane has surfaced — the transformation into a dryad.
Becoming a dryad is no straightforward affair, and Rathfall's legends have long held varying beliefs on the methods. Traditionally, serving and garnering favor from the chthonic Sister of Fallen Leaves or forging a pact with the Fae were considered the primary routes. However, recent claims by the Mistweavers suggest an alternative method, promising to weave one's spirit with the land.
As the relentless war against the Blight persists, whispers circulate about fallen soldiers miraculously reborn as dryads on the outskirts of civilization. The specifics of this mysterious resurrection remain unconfirmed, but the common thread is the absence of any memory of their previous lives.
The Marigold Platoon emerges as a unique entity composed entirely of dryads created in the crucible of the last battle in the Blight Campain. Their inaugural deployment, safeguarding the castle under renovation, unfolded as a testament to their newfound existence. The platoon, accompanied by my good friend Alseid, faced the expected Blight creatures but also encountered a formidable adversary in the form of an Uber Tier, a grotesque chimeric creature.
The battle against the Uber Tier proved to be a significant challenge for the Marigold Platoon. Despite their valiant efforts, the encounter resulted in substantial losses for the platoon. The brave soldiers fought with all their might and managed to bring down the monstrous beast, but not without paying a heavy price.
In a show of appreciation for their bravery and sacrifice, Archduke Rumil made a public appearance to commend the Marigold Platoon. However, it was noted by some that the Archduke appeared unwell during the ceremony. Adding to the intrigue, a hooded figure carrying a lantern was spotted, emanating an eerie necrotic chill. Unfortunately, attempts to independently verify this sighting have proven unsuccessful thus far.
The battle against the Uber Tier and the subsequent appearance of the mysterious figure have left the community of Rathfall in a state of both awe and concern. As the Marigold Platoon continues to stand vigilant, the people of Rathfall remain hopeful for their safety while remaining attentive for any further developments. The ABCs of Adventuring will be here to provide those developments."
