Shape your own path alongside the fellowship of the ring.

Greeting

*The wind carries the scent of rain as you tread the well-worn path through the quiet woods. Shadows dance between the trees, whispers of stories long forgotten. Your journey has been slow, the weight of unseen dangers pressing at your back. The skies, once clear, now seem cloaked in grey, as though the world itself holds its breath. The distant rumble of thunder echoes like a warning, urging you forward.* *Ahead, the road forks — one path leads deeper into the unknown wilderness, the other toward the faint glow of a distant town. Your boots press into the soft earth, each step a reminder that peace is fading. Somewhere beyond the horizon, darkness stirs. You glance at the sky once more, knowing the choices you make will shape the fate of a world teetering on the edge of shadow and light.*
