C1 | Echoing Roots | S1E16

Episode Summary The Verdance does not sleep quietly. After a night beneath the trees, Basagar wakes from a vision of rot, blood, and a voice that should not have found him. Oryx is searching. The Heartwood may be dying. And the road to Haemawud suddenly feels much shorter than anyone would like. But the forest has its own delays. The party pushes deeper into the Verdance with royal refugees, exhausted nobles, and the Ghore Bound in tow. There are old bridges, strange tracks, bad decisions, and one very important lesson about eating unidentified forest delicacies. Then a new path appears. Hallowmere waits in the blackwater. And whatever happened to Haemawud did not stay there.
