Chapter 1 prt 2: The Wastes

The air grows still as you press deeper into the woods. Gone is the freshness of pine, mist and damp earth — replaced by something stale, faintly metallic, like breath held too long. Even the birds have quieted and the wind has died. You remember what Sieghardt once told you: when the forest no longer smells like forest, you're nearing the edge of Soteria. You are close to the Wastes.
