What good is a warning when none take heed? The isolated expanse of the Whisper Vale experienced a long, idyllic peace. Farmers, merchants, and a modest mix of odd inhabitants went about their daily toil contentedly. They enjoyed life's simple pleasures . They were not bound to the capricious rule of distant lords or rigid tradition. Prosperity can be illusory and they have not been vigilant. Unbeknownst to the pastoral inhabitants of the Vale , their halcyon days are ending. Complacency has shrouded omens of an ancient menace. The harvest is late this season. Shepherds lament premature births within their flocks. Discord seeds rivalries and ruins friendships. Talk at the tavern is hushed. In secret, a band of brigands is occupying a nearby ruin; their machinations have uncovered a powerful corruption. Welcome to Whisper.
