The once-deep and tranquil forest is no longer peaceful.
At its forgotten center lies the Aether Altar, a once-sacred place that breathed life into the world—now weakened by greed and war, allowing darkness to spread across the woods.
You are the last descendant of the ancient forest.
Armed with only a small axe, your journey to reclaim the light begins.
