A mark, wispy but visible, has appeared upon you.
You. Are. Marked.
The wind is fierce, and smells burned, though there is no immediate trace of fire, and the rocky landscape is bathed in silvery moonlight, lush stretches of green forest splotched across it like vast oases. Starlight flickers through the trees, and dances in the wakes and ripples of the river running alongside your beaten path.
You pass through a willow-arched entrance to a large, open area. Suddenly, you smell the putrid scent of death, and then it is gone again in an instant, leaving nothing but the scene of the seemingly empty meadow. You have discovered Ashland, hidden away in the wilds of the land, where wolves are drawn to their destiny. Magic can be felt in every paw-step, and the secrets that these wolves, and the land itself, hold...will be enough to jar your faith in your own breed.
Soul's Ridge rests just a mile or so beyond the meadow, dark and cold...the greyish-red dust billows up in a mist as the wind picks it up and lays it back down, the scent of age-old fire on the air.
"You are welcome...but if you stay, you must pay the price."
A somber voice speaks to you from the darkness...You do not understand the meaning in his words, but feel that he speaks the truth, yet something compels you to stay here, so you do.
Destiny is calling you. Dare you rise to meet it?
Season: Late Autumn
The land is now cool and barren, leaves scattering the ground in every direction. The wolves of Ashland are still thin and worn from the summer's heat and drought, and they fear they may not be strong enough for the coming winter...the rains have come now, scattered, but heavy, replenishing the thirsty ground.
