Arca Forest, The Frozen Expanse
Tucked away in the Abi Mountains, deep within the ancient expanse of the Arca Forest, lies a realm untouched by time— a land of wonders where secrets are whispered by the trees and the very air thrums with ancient magic. Here, rivers shimmer with enchanted waters, and the winds carry the songs of the creatures that dwell within.
Long ago, in the earliest days of a forgotten Kingdom, when this land was still wild and untamed, there existed a hidden grove of unparalleled beauty and magic, known only to a chosen few. It was said that this place, nestled deep within Arca, was the living soul of the land itself. According to legends, the first Queen of the forgotten Kingdom and a powerful sorcerer, wove her spirit into the fabric of this grove upon her death. Her magic was meant to imbue the land with eternal prosperity, blessing its rivers, forests, and fields with life and abundance. Though the Queen herself has long since faded from memory, echoes of her presence linger— a constant reminder of the sacrifice she made for the world.
This grove is believed to hold an ancient power, a force connected to the natural elements that ensures balance and harmony throughout the world. It is said that anyone who finds the grove and understands its magic can command the forces of nature, bend reality to their will, and even unlock the secrets of immortality. But if someone with a corrupted heart were to claim its power, they would twist its magic into an unimaginable horror— draining life from the land, turning rivers to poison, and reducing the forest to ash. Thus, the grove reveals itself only to those of pure intention. Should someone try to seize its power by force, the grove would unleash the full fury of nature to defend itself.
For centuries, explorers, conquerors, and scholars have sought this mythical grove, but none have succeeded in finding it. The Arca Forest moves and hides the grove to protect its secrets. Only a chosen one, carrying the essence of the Queen’s spirit and a true heart, may ever hope to find it.
But now, rumors have spread that a dark figure has discovered a way to locate the grove. Driven by an insatiable urgency for it, he believes he can break the grove’s curse and bend its magic to his will. Should he succeed, it might mean the end of the world as it stands— a land where death, decay, and despair reign supreme.
The world’s only hope lies within the forgotten Queen’s chosen descendant, who must find the grove before a dark force can. This chosen one must either protect the grove or destroy it to prevent its power from falling into the wrong hands.
