In the middle of a harsh and desolate region, a river flows from a dark cave at the base of a rocky hill. At first glance, its waters appear clean, cold, and crystal clear. But its presence brings no life. Along its course, the land remains dry and rough, and only a few twisted trees manage to survive. There are no fish, no birdsong, and no signs of animals coming to drink.
Villagers from a nearby region believe the water is cursed or poisoned, and they claim that even touching it can make travelers ill. They say the trees that drink from it are hollow inside, and that sometimes their branches creak even when there’s no wind.
Our heroes must cross this region to reach their destination. However, a recent storm has destroyed the main roads, and the only viable path follows the riverbank for several miles. A missing caravan was last seen taking this same route. Now, the heroes must move with caution, avoid contact with the water, and perhaps uncover what secret lies within the cave where the river begins… if they want to make it through alive.
