Roots of Deception – July 2026

Published: July 2026

Rotblossoms have begun appearing throughout the forest valley of Silvarum Vale. The strange flowers attract predators, spread unnatural growth, and threaten the entire ecosystem. As clues accumulate, the mystery points toward a far more personal conflict hidden beneath the valley: a feud between identical twin sisters, one of whom may be responsible for everything.

Locations

Silvarum Vale and the surrounding enchanted forest.

Important Sites:

The Rotblossom Grove – The location where the first and largest Rotblossom appeared.

Predator Hollow – A dark hunting ground ruled by Krash and his kenku predators.

The Clawsome Sanctuary Grounds – A predator refuge maintained by Maglara.

Moonpetal Falls – A beautiful waterfall inhabited by Tirta.

The Avenrith House – The abandoned childhood home of Elarea and Lyrielle.

The Heartroot Chamber – The source of the infestation, beneath the Rotblossom Grove

Factions

Silvarum Vale Villagers – The inhabitants of Silvarum Vale are mostly elves struggling to survive the growing Rotblossom crisis. Most trust Elarea completely and desperately want the flowers removed before predators overrun the valley.
