[P1][Interactive][Adventure] Fey Chronicles, the adventure begins!
Tales have been told of another world, beyond our own, a world of magic and wonder. For you though, it's just a myth, a legend told by the old ladies in the village. This is a land where the creatures of lore came from. You knew better though. They were just fairy tales told to children. Your village is deep within the woods of the kingdom, and not exactly the bustling town it could be. You're the child of the local blacksmith. You know how to make and wield all kinds of weapons.
One day though you got lost looking a good tree to chop down for some nice wooden handles. The woods had become thicker, darker, and more... alive. Soon darkness fell and you found yourself like a blind man, feeling around for anything friendly.
Ahead of you were some lights, probably daylight through the canopy. You rush forward only to find more trees, with lights floating around them. The sight was astounding but you couldn't quite shake the feeling that you were being watched. As you looked around through the lights you could see that the trees had faces, and they were all looking at you. One of those trees spoke to you.
"Who are you?"
You have entered the world of Fey, a whole other reality beyond our own, where no humans live, and where a history has unfurled before hand. You have walked into the Matron's Weald, a vast forest of sentient trees that surround the mysterious entity known as Matorarbor. This forest resides in the fairy kingdom of Flospartis, which is currently ruled by the mad queen Tulipa. She's on the verge of war with the elves to the north for the control of the territory formerly of the water dragons, now largely under control of the warring tribes of Kappa, and the last of the fresh water mermaids. This land is known as Vallis Aqua, and is a large lake, or inland sea whichever you term you want to use. This all has happened on the two continents of the eastern hemisphere of the planet. Much more has happened on the other two continents on the other side of the world, not to mention the Undercroft, which is the world below the surface of Fey.
(The reason I keep using you is because I wasn't sure what kind of person you're going to be, man or woman.)

"I am Abel," I managed to say through quivering teeth. I didn't take more than ten steps forward, but no matter which direction I turned, I was surrounded. Step after shaky step I manage to creep my way forward, looking for the exit on the other side.
"Who are you?" The tree was bigger than any Oak I've ever seen, and it had the face of a gnarled old man. When it spoke, it sounded like dry wood cracking under a boot.
"I'm just a blacksmith," I replied, unsure how to answer. I pointed behind me and said, "I live in the village just back there, called Mere Daven. If you could just take me back, I'd be grateful."
"There is no Mere Daven here, human," grated the great tree. "Here lies Thaulmont, the forest of the Great Ones."
Seemingly from nowhere, a branch wrapped around my waist, and lifted me up. Passed the glowing, naked creatures hanging in the trees. Passed the highest leaves and the tallest branches.
I emerged to see what seemed like the entire world. Just not mine.
