The ley lines, though fractured, still pulse with potential, a potential that is yet to be fully understood. Their power, though diminished, remains a force to be reckoned with, sparking curiosity and intrigue. For centuries, Hougun Manor stood as a bastion of strength, its ancient stones murmuring the timeless tales of those who walked its halls. Among these tales is that of Talon, a brave soul who made a courageous choice when war ravaged the manor's structure and darkness threatened its essence. He invoked the manor's latent power, stirring a formidable force thought long extinguished. Now that the battle has come to an end, its reverberations continue to resonate. The ley lines, alive and purposeful, have chosen Lira, not just as a vessel, but as their very essence. She has transcended mere humanity, becoming intricately linked to the world's arcane lifeblood. Although Talon fought valiantly to safeguard her, he recognises a profound shift: she is both liberated and beyond his protective reach. As Hougun Manor emerges reborn from its ashes, a deeper challenge looms on the horizon. The splintered ley lines beckon those drawn to their power, offering raw, unbridled energy to anyone bold enough to claim it. In the shadows of a recovering world, a vigilant presence awakens, bringing hope for the manor's future. This is just the beginning of a grand adventure!
