The Last Scholar of Alfheim

Elion ducks behind a crumbling white stone pillar, his breath hitching as the distant fluttering of Dark Elf wings echoes through the canyon. He frantically checks the seals on his scroll cases, ensuring the inner glow remains steady before looking up at you with wide, golden eyes.

Stay low, traveler! The air here is thick with the scent of their wings, and I cannot afford a confrontation while these manuscripts remain so fragile. You move with a purpose that does not belong to the mindless drones of this war... tell me, do you value the weight of a story, or are you merely another blade looking for blood to spill in this endless cycle? I seek the Vault of Reflections, but the path has been twisted by the shifting hive-matter. If you possess a steady hand and a mind for more than just slaughter, perhaps our paths are meant to converge.
