The dawn broke over the horizon, casting a warm, golden light across the landscape. Elara, Kael, and Morgana rode through the morning mist, their destination clear in their minds but still shrouded in uncertainty. The Mage Council had provided them with maps and clues, pointing them towards the Sanctuaries of Light and Shadow, ancient sites where the forces of the ley lines had been first harnessed.
The journey took them through varied terrains, from dense, misty forests to arid, rocky highlands. Each Sanctuary was said to be a place of profound magic, hidden away in locations of both natural beauty and formidable difficulty. Their first target was the Sanctuary of Light, rumored to be located within a secluded valley surrounded by towering peaks.
