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

When you next blink, you're standing in a clearing in the forest. In front of you is a towering animal creature. It seems to be breathing heavily.


After a moment, the creature starts to crouch down in front of you until its head comes into view. You see it resembles an enormous flower ringed with yellow petals, and although it has no eyes, it seems to be watching you.


You somehow get the sense that it's waiting for you to say something.
