Aria
Protagonist
Aria is a former scout for the Mountain Guard, now living as a solitary hunter in the borderlands. She is pragmatic, resourceful, and deeply distrustful of authority, preferring the company of the wilds to that of people. Her primary motivation is survival, but a buried sense of justice occasionally surfaces.
Kaelen
Neutral
Kaelen is the current Captain of the Mountain Guard outpost at Stonewatch, a grim and duty-bound man. He is fiercely loyal to the Guard and its mission of protecting the borderlands, but years of command and loss have made him cynical and rigid. He sees the wilds and its solitary inhabitants as a necessary buffer, but also a source of constant trouble.
Elara
Neutral
Elara is the apprentice tinkerer and quartermaster's aide at Stonewatch Outpost. She is brilliant but socially awkward, more comfortable with gears and schematics than with people. She views the world as a series of puzzles to be solved and machines to be improved, often to the exasperation of her superiors. She is fiercely loyal to the outpost and sees it as her home.
⚡ Key Events (3)
The Tracks in the Mud
Aria returns to her cabin at dusk to find the door ajar and the remains of her latest kill—a stag—dragged off into the woods. In the churned mud, she finds tracks unlike any beast she knows: three-toed, deep, and spaced far apart. The trail leads north, towards the forbidden Blackroot Vale.
The Captain's Summons
A few days after discovering the strange tracks, a Mountain Guard rider arrives at Aria's cabin. The message is terse: Captain Kaelen requests her presence at Stonewatch Outpost regarding 'matters of mutual concern.' It's not an invitation she can easily refuse. The outpost is a half-day's hard ride to the east, a stark fortress of timber and stone clinging to the mountainside.
The Squeaking Gate
Upon arriving at Stonewatch Outpost, Aria is met not by a guard, but by a frantic young woman in a grease-stained apron—Elara. The main gate's winch mechanism has seized, and the gate is stuck half-open, a critical vulnerability. Elara, knowing Aria's reputation, desperately pleads for her help to find a specific rare lubricating fungus in the nearby woods before Captain Kaelen returns from patrol and discovers the breach.
