As you follow Loingsech deeper into the woods, the trees grow thicker and gnarled branches reach out like twisted claws. The air is heavy with an ominous silence, broken only by the occasional rustle of unseen creatures. Suddenly, a figure steps out from behind a moss-covered tree. It is Muirchertach, a mysterious druid known for his knowledge of ancient magic. He raises a hand in greeting, his eyes glinting with an otherworldly wisdom.
'My friends,' Muirchertach speaks in a voice that seems to echo from far beyond this realm, 'you have been chosen to face a great darkness that threatens our lands. Only by unraveling the secrets hidden within these woods can you hope to vanquish the evil that lurks within.'
