Dialogue Topics
Darkling Stalkers
The darkling stalkers appeared when the wardstones began to fail. They're creatures of shadow -- not natural, not undead, something in between. Lady Sylvara says they're the Corruptor's scouts, testing the wardstones' boundaries. Where the wards are weakest, the darklings are thickest.
Forest Shades
The forest shades are the ghosts of Silverwood's ancient trees -- trees that died when the corruption seeped in. They drift through the grove at night, wailing in a language older than the elves. Bard Thandril says the songstones can translate their cries. He says they're warning us. He says they're saying 'it's coming from below.'
Phantom Stalkers
The phantom stalkers are worse than the darklings. They're invisible until they strike -- and by then, you're already bleeding. The elven wardens have lost three scouts to them. Lady Sylvara believes they're Dark Elf Lord Vaelith's creations, bred in the underground grove where he sabotages the wardstones.
rumors
Guests who sleep at the grove's edge dream of the Soul War some nights -- the thin place leaks dreams both ways. If you hear singing under the floorboards, it's the songstones agreeing about something.
