With the convergence resolved, Eldoria began to return to its normal rhythm, but Kael's sense of impending challenges remained. He had a growing suspicion that the dark sorcerer was only a precursor to a larger threat. He needed to investigate further and uncover any lingering dangers.
Kael's status screen updated with a new quest:
Quest: Investigate the Whispering Shadows
- Objective 1: Explore the outskirts of Eldoria for signs of residual dark magic.
- Objective 2: Speak with the seer Elden about potential hidden threats.
- Objective 3: Uncover the source of the mysterious whispers in the shadows.
Kael decided to start by investigating the outskirts of Eldoria, an area that had been less affected by the convergence but still seemed unusually quiet. As he ventured into the forested areas surrounding the city, he noticed subtle disturbances—shadowy figures flitting through the trees and faint whispers carried by the wind.
He reached a small, secluded glade where the whispers were particularly strong. The magic here was unsettling, a blend of dark and ancient energies. Kael could sense that something was hiding in the shadows, but it remained elusive.
