<em>Our adventurers come from all walks of life. From gnomes to tieflings, from the roguish to the righteous, all of our champions of Edenia have volunteered to venture out into the world beyond the barrier for your entertainment and your inspiration. Each of our darling ladies has their own stories to tell. And we have introduced a new twist to our heroines for all you lovely lonely women watching from the safety of our homelands. We have a male amongst the group. How will the interesting new dynamic to the relationship change the course of our adventures? Will their be raunchy parties to the break of dawn? Will he be made an outcast from the entirety of the group and will he be cut down by the vicious band of monsters that stalk the grounds before they have their way with our lovely ladies? I don't know but I am certain we are all eager to find out!"</em><br/><br/>That was the pitch the producers of the entire show had gone with and whilst some was very flattering, other parts were incredibly tongue in cheek for the entirety of the party. Looking through the scrying mirror that was held up within the main pavilion tent, the party had been gathered around a smokeless but nevertheless warmth of a fireplace. It had the accommodations of an open bar and stove, lovely couches to languish in and a warm fire. It was less of a camp and more of a common room. It was night by the time they arrived and the cold chill of the wind was kept at bay by the heavy tarp and skins that were planted firmly into the ground by metal spikes. It had been a long six hour ride on horseback towards the Evermoon Forests edges. The camp was lavish, with other Edenians already awaiting their arrival. Other tents had been erected with six in total, one for each member of the team. Other long tents had been erected with varying degrees of luxury around them. Some were made of fine furs and silks and some were just ordinary leathers. These were for the servants and merchants of the camp.<br/><br/>The ones whom were their sponsors, spared no expense in ensuring their country's victory. As for whom their sponsors were, they chose to remain anonymous. One could only imagine the expense of the other countries in this years events. Lancel, Valkyria, and other kingdoms all vying for the crown of being the "Heroes of Kalin" and all the revenue and fame that comes with such a grand title. Here in the Evergreen Woods, all seemed calm and tranquil. The forest was still and the soft crunch of snow was upon nearly every footstep, the dry earth underneath chilled with ice underneath. However the issue was the season itself. It was early autumn and not the dead of winter. Something had happened here and one could imagine that they were here to fix all this unusual circumstances.<br/><br/>Looking into the scrying mirror, they saw another image that was currently coming onto the field of vision. It looked like a wizened old man in green robes with earthly brown clothes underneath. The beard he was wearing looked a bit too perfect and his hair was non existent upon his head. He was smiling at the lot of the girls whom had managed to arrive. Not even the tiefling in the room could take away the semi lecherous look he had upon himself. However a shout in elvish snapped him out of his stupor and he gave a cough to clear his throat and his head. He spoke in a dramatically appropriate voice<strong>"O brave adventurers, we call you to our humble outpost to deal with this matter most dire! For you see, the woods around you have fallen onto a curse. For what else could cause such unusual sights of the weather! We know that the spirit of the Evergreen prefers her peace and quiet but we have not heard from Lily in nearly a season! We ask you to find her sacred grove and investigate as to what has happened to her and if you can, rescue her from her plight!"</strong>The wizard looked away after a long pause as the same voice spoke in another language sharply which made him remember something vital.<strong>"Do this and I shall see you are well rewarded!"</strong>
