Lonely Tree
You spot a gnarled and lonely tree growing on a tiny island in the midst of a calm part of the stream. As you move closer, you realize that there were once two trees on the island. Only a stump remains where the first one once stood.
How odd.
A sense of melancholy washes over you as you imagine the fate of the other tree. Did it fall victim to disease, or was it cut down? The remaining tree seems to stand as a testament to its fallen companion, persevering despite the loss.
What has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps, can run but never walks, and has a bank but no money?
As you turn your gaze south again, you notice a shimmering body of water in the distance.
It appears to be a large lake, surrounded by rolling hills and verdant forests. You wonder if it might be worth exploring,..
There also seems to be a yellow glimmer coming from the hills above the river bank.
Travel along the River Styx to locations and shards further downriver.
Keep in mind that the available paths change depending on where you are.
Discovering and interacting with other areas in the river is certain to lead to unexpected outcomes.
Exploration is encouraged.
