— Germany - Bremen —
In a secluded old tower deep in the coniferous forests not far from Bremen, Edgar Willow lived a life of quiet isolation. The tower, built during the Middle Ages, was well-maintained and showed no signs of wear, protected by a boundfield spell that kept it hidden from ordinary people.
Despite its remote location and off-grid existence, the tower wasn't completely cut off from the world. Mages from the Path of Knowledge faction occasionally visited, hoping to meet Edgar and purchase seeds of the Sylvan Trees that his family had once cultivated before they were annihilated by Daniel Emberweave. However, all who came left disappointed.
Today seemed no different. A guest in a black robe, his face concealed by shadows, stood before the tower's door, waiting for Edgar to receive him.
