The group's journey toward the Convergence Nexus began at dawn, under a sky streaked with ominous shades of gray. The villagers gathered at the edge of the settlement to see them off, offering blessings, talismans, and somber encouragements. Despite the weight of their task, the team was resolute, their determination solidified by the knowledge of what was at stake.
The Nexus was said to lie at the heart of the island, buried deep within a labyrinthine cave system known as the Hollow Veins. No villager dared enter the Hollow Veins; tales of strange sounds, disorienting visions, and unexplainable disappearances had cemented its reputation as a place of fear. Yet the group pressed on, armed with maps pieced together from ancient texts and Eldara's carefully crafted protective wards.
