A rustling of leaves whispers throughout the village as a gentle breeze carries the mewling sound of soft cries into unknowing homes. Faunids rise from their deep midnight slumbers. Nothing seems out of place yet a collective concern tightens the chests of all individuals. You cautiously leave the safety of your adobe as curiosity overwhelms your instinct to remain in place.

Your wandering leads you to leave the sanctuary of the awakening village and into the unexplored forestry to follow the increasing whine of cries and sobs. A sudden silhouette stops you in your tracks. Both of you remain still for unbroken seconds before the other stag speaks.



“Oncoming lunar activity has made the local spirits restless in their afterlife,
and now they gather at the Hidden Cove. In order to speak to them,
you must craft a special potion with the village Tellers and embark on a long
and arduous journey. Herne not only asks for your dedication to his cause,
but as well as a sacrifice of a beloved possession. If you prove you are
committed to this task, I can guide you toward this newly created Fawnid.

Will you help those in need?“

The soft cries had led you all deeper into the forest, a collective murmur of confusion uttered between faunids great and small. A wave of silence ceases all chatter as the dark mystery individual speaks.

“Thank you all for your eagerness to assist the Tellers and I in this trying time.“ His muzzle raises and lowers in a slow deliberate gaze over two specific individuals. A smaller elk and a graceful whitetail paired side-by-side at the head of the group. "Your quick reactions have been noticed by Herne and received with open arms. You can find your new Fawn deep within a grove of lavender. Please leave your donation to Herne where you find them. Good luck."

As the duo leave to venture into the unknown, Nakir turns to face the remaining pairs. A smile curling the edges of his mouth. "Herne will respond to you within the next days. Searching fauns do not need to trip over others as we all search for our living blessings. As I call upon you, you will leave your sacrifices at my doorstep. Thank you for your patience."
