The Lanternwood

I. An invitation to the wood

The

Lanternwood

A light for the lost.

The moonwell has gone dark.
Somewhere beyond the mist, a light is waiting.

Notes from the Lanternwood

01 The story

A promise, kept
in the dark.

For forty winters, Orren has kept the moonwell’s light burning. A promise to every traveler who has ever lost their way.

Now the well is dark. Its moonseed is missing, and beyond the old trees the mist is gathering.

You are Ilyra, a ranger arriving at the edge of a story still being written. Follow the lanterns. Listen to those you meet. Some paths begin with a promise.

02 A few small comforts

Settle into
the wood.

A little sound. A little movement.
Make this corner of the forest your own.

03 The first chapter

The Mistbound Road

Every journey begins
with a little light.

The last light slips between the trees. Ahead, a lantern sways, and the forest seems to hold its breath.
