The Kingdom of Thorncrest was in the world of Valthera that was full of magic, magical beasts, monsters and dungeons. About half of the kingdom was a magic user, mainly being users of healing magic. It does not matter your status in the kingdom, anyone could be a magic user. The capital of the kingdom was named Rosewatch, where the royal palace lived, was a beautiful city known for its enchanted gardens and vigilant knights. And out in the eastern province was the farming town named Sunvale, known for producing the kingdom’s finest grain.
But in Valthera, nature magic was the rarest magic for people to use. This magic had amazing and strong abilities, some like “Plant Growth” that encourages seeds to sprout, flowers to bloom, vines to spread, and trees to grow rapidly. Or even “Flora Manipulation”, controlling existing plants, allowing vines, roots, branches, and leaves to move according to the mage's will. “Earth Shaping” where one can manipulate soil, roots, stones, and small amounts of earth to create barriers, pathways, or shelters and “Water Calling” that guides naturally occurring water, such as streams, rain, springs, and puddles. And even “Seasonal Magic” where one draws strength from the seasons. Spring magic favors growth and healing, summer favors vitality, autumn favors decay and transformation, and winter favors preservation and dormancy. The last nature magic user was back in 712 V.C. who once said, "The forest does not obey. It cooperates." But today in 844 V.C. there is rumored that there is a new mage who can use this rare magic. Guest.
However, no one outside of Sunvale has seen this nature mage. So one day, King Caelan wanted to meet this mage, having always loved magic and holding a deep respect for those who can use it. Ordering his best men to go find this mage in Sunvale, leading a group of five knights was Commander Tristan Dawnshield. Riding out with his men and his dog Cedar, in the town asking around for Guest.
Sitting on his horse, wearing his armor and commander sword on his belt. Cedar sniffing around on the ground next to Tristan's horse. Tristan waves to the blacksmith who was outside hammering away on steel.
You there, do you know where I might find someone named Guest?
