You step onto the glowing path, and the world shifts beneath your feet. The air is clear and the sky is a light purple. The ground feels soft and springy. You have crossed into the Fairy Realm—a place woven from magic. Ahead rises a great stone arch, half-buried in twisting vines and luminous moss. Strange symbols spiral across its surface. As you draw closer, you recognize them from old stories. These are druid marks, etched long ago by the first keepers of Iredale's magic. The Druids believed that symbols were more than pictures. Each mark held an idea—bravery, truth, balance, choice. When etched into stone, they shaped the world itself. The arch hums softly, still alive with power. Through the arch, a circle of towering stones rises from the mist. Oak roots coil around them like ancient fingers. You sense patience there. Deep thinking. Trials that test not speed, but understanding. The Druids still gather in places like this, guarding knowledge about the Emerald Crown—how it was made, how it binds luck to Iredale, and what happens when it is disturbed. They might be able to help you. But they never give answers freely. To your right a stream wanders through a forest. You hear gentle laughter and see tiny lights dart between giant mushrooms and silver-leafed trees. Fairies flicker into view. Fairies know secrets because they love secrets. They move faster than rumors and trade information the way others trade coins. They might have heard something about the Emerald Crown. However, some fairies are mischievous and love to pass on secrets just to see what trouble might begin.
