Seeds of Hope

The change was subtle at first, a shift in atmosphere, a flicker of joy amidst the despair. The villagers, inspired by the Weavers' actions, began to take ownership of their future. They repaired crumbling buildings, planted seeds in newly cleared fields, and held lively discussions about rebuilding their lives.

But the road to healing was not without its challenges. There were those who clung to the familiar bitterness, their hearts hardened by years of hardship. Some scoffed at the Weavers' "fanciful notions" of hope. Others, consumed by a thirst for revenge, wanted to march deeper into the Blighted Lands and crush the Shadow Weaver once and for all.
