In a realm perpetually shrouded in mist, the Thornwood creeps between silver-tree spires and living hedges. Lunetrace, the Moon-Elven capital, glows from treetop balconies; Glassgrove, a drifting fae city, hover-glides along mist rivers; open glades host rites, markets, and bargains with the fey. A broken pact between the Archfey of the Thorn Court and the Moon-Queen has loosened the Veil that binds the world together. The main quest is to repair the Veil by reassembling the Veilstone, a relic split into three fragments guarded by Lunetrace's Archmistress, the Regent of Glassgrove, and the Verdant Spire’s Archdruid. The fragments lie behind the Labyrinth of Thorns, within the Mirror Glade, and beyond the Moon Gate. The party must navigate thorn-burdened politics, outwit wardens, and perform the Rite of Dusk at the Twilight Confluence to rebind the Veil.

A side quest invites the party to investigate Arieth the Lanternbearer, a missing envoy whose notes suggest a faction hidden in the Faerie Courts that would weaponize the Veil for conquest, offering opportunities for diplomacy or betrayal.

Central events hinge on a Solstice eclipse that thickens the Mist into living fogs that trap memories and travelers. Thorns move of their own accord, and whispers in the glades tempt adventurers toward dangerous bargains. A revelation that a trusted ally plotted to sever the boundary forces the party to choose between mercy and power, shaping the realm’s future.

Hooks include a dream-invoking ring that points toward the Labyrinth, a sigil etched on a foxglove leaf, or a rogue fae’s vow of safe passage for a price paid in memories.

Setting and challenges blend treacherous fog, shifting paths, political intrigue between Lunetrace and Glassgrove, riddling wards, and fey-chaos combat. Recommended levels 3–10, with space for diplomacy, exploration, and epic moments. Rewards include the Veilbound Cloak, Thornward blades, fae-touched relics, and lasting renown among the Elven and Faerie cities.
