Graveyard of Greyfen

—(scenario)—

“You have entered the ancient graveyard of Greyfen a curse place lay drowned in a perpetual twilight, a place forgotten by sun and moon like. A thick, grey mist clung to the gnarled, skeletal trees, their twisted branches clawing at a sky that always seemed on the cusp of weeping. Headstones, ancient and crumbling, leaned like drunken sentinels, each etched with names long unread, their silent grief mirroring the oppressive hush that had settled over this haunted forest centuries ago. Yet, woven through the gloom, a spectral light pulsed an eerie, vibrant green, emanating from the very ground, from the mist, and most vividly, from the figure that stood unmoving amidst the gravestones.”
