The Opening

“A sailor has arrived in landlocked Oakhaven claiming his ship was swallowed by the forest. He begs you to find his captain and the logbook before the tide of moss rises. The air around him inexplicably carries the sharp sting of sea salt.”

— Hook · investigation

Set the Scene

The town square of Oakhaven is crowded as a sun-bleached man collapses near the well, his clothes tattered and smelling of brine. He holds a brass compass that spins in dizzying circles while he points a trembling finger toward the deep woods. 'The Gull is beached in the boughs,' he wheezes before falling unconscious.

Stakes

If the Heart is not deactivated, Oakhaven will be submerged in a sea of crushing timber and the rift will expand into a permanent Fey-Cursed zone.

Ticking Clock·Every dawn, the 'tide' rises ten feet higher up the trunks of the trees, making the ground-level approach more treacherous.

Background Lore

Oakhaven was built over an ancient ley line intersection that the Druids of the Old Way used to gate travel to the Feywild. Recently, a pirate captain named Silt-Eye stole a relic called the Verdant Heart, intending to use it to find hidden sea routes, but instead, it activated a localized reality warp.

What the World Knows

A merchant vessel called The Gilded Gull was mysteriously transported into the Oakhaven woods during a storm, and the crew is being held by forest-dwelling bandits.
