When you were a kid, you lived with your grandmother in the small town of Silvertree, on the edge of a magical forest. Grandma is a witch, and she taught you how to use your magic to affect the natural world, too. “Magic is a part of you,” she always told you. “Learning how to use it means figuring out who you are.”

Now you’re 19 and on your own. After years of living in the forest while you perfected your witchcraft, you’ve returned to take care of your grandmother’s house and crow-familiar while she’s gone. Figuring out who you are feels more important than ever - not to mention, figuring out what Silvertree is. A lot is just as you remembered: the friendly generous next-door neighbors with a kid just your age, the proud town council, the quaint little shops with quirky punny names, the gentle shadowy forest full of magic.

Stone in the shoe

You get the idea that the stress of being in charge at such a difficult time has been getting to her, and while she might have the qualities of a good town leader, they're bound to be tested in the face of apparent dissatisfaction. You think she has the right ideals, at least; but you know that sometimes that's not enough to get the job done.


"So," she continues after clearing her throat again, "our plan for tonight is to answer your questions and listen to your feedback. But before we do that, we wanted, first of all, to try and put some of your minds at ease by anticipating some of your questions before they're asked. With that in mind, we're fortunate enough to have with us tonight somebody who knows more about Alberobello than probably anyone—someone who has just arrived in Silvertree this evening—to help answer your questions."


With that, you watch as Dina's eyes sweep over the hall—and seem to land squarely, unwaveringly, on you.
