I fear for Avelorn and the Everqueen. Even now Malekith's forces ravage the ancient forest in search of her. They have scarred the ground on the borderlands with a dark fortress, Ghrond's Sacristy. Strengthened by the corrupted artifacts within, they hunt our Queen day and night. I fear that it may be impossible to drive them from the land without first breaching their fortress.
But there is yet hope. Saphery remains relatively untouched, and its people will rally to protect the Everqueen. On the border of the two lands the Well of Qhaysh holds in it the dreams of the High Elves, visions of our future, stories of beauty and sorrow. Might we see the fate of our Everqueen in those visions? That I cannot tell, but I do know that any hope of protecting Saphery and saving Avelorn lies in that pool and the fortress it sustains.
Protect the Well, and destroy the Dark Elves' fortress. Ulthuan's very heart hangs in the balance.
