Editing Module Two (section)

====Encounter 2: The Ally – [[Kaelen Greenleaf]], the Grove Warden====
As you proceed through the twisted landscape, you notice a lone figure standing at the edge of a clearing. He’s a tall elf with weathered skin of a greenish tint, clad in worn leather armour covered in moss and vines. His eyes flash with suspicion and sadness as he regards you. '''“Another band of wanderers, drawn by the sickness of this land?”''' he asks, voice rough with age. '''“If you mean to help, then follow my lead. If you are here to plunder, I will see your bones feed the roots of this forest.”'''

Kaelen’s Knowledge:

There are six known "key places of power" across Orsein, each representing a vital element of nature. So far, three of these places have been corrupted, and the corruption seems to spread like a disease from each one.  

He knows of “an Other” responsible for the blight but doesn’t know the Viridescent One’s true name or origin. Kaelen has seen shadowy figures at night performing rituals to taint the land, sometimes assisted by dark fey creatures.

Kaelen acquired this information through visions, likely due to his connection to nature spirits who sensed the disturbance.

Offer of Help: Kaelen will help cleanse one of these places of power alongside the party, though he warns that doing so will attract the attention of the Viridescent One’s minions.
