The Opening

A frantic merchant stops you on the road, pointing toward a village swaddled in unnaturally golden mist. He begs you to save his daughter, who walked into the fog for a jar of honey and never returned. The air smells cloyingly of jasmine and decay.

Background Lore

Oakhaven was a peaceful logging town until an exotic species of 'Golden Bees' was introduced by a traveling scholar. The bees produced a nectar so addictive it replaced the town's entire economy and diet.

What the World Knows

The town has dedicated itself to the worship of a nature spirit that provides a miraculous honey, choosing to isolate itself from the outside world to protect the 'Gilded Gift.'
