Rapid changes have emphasized cracks in the forest network- the forest’s heart, now ‘bleeding’, has entered a state of dormancy. For eons this sacred grove was protected by the Echowalkers, but they were unable to protect it from the virulent spread of the Saturophage. As the heart’s infection became overwhelmingly clear, the Echowalkers abandoned their guard - leaving it in the charge of lower lifeforms.
As the forest’s heart has mutated, so have its inhabitants. Once internally full of vibrancy - the forest now can only receive color from external sources // once thought immune, the moss of Sorn-Lai has already begun to change... larger shifts are on the horizon.
