In the snow-laden Eschallus Forest, the non-binary herbalist Valak stands out among the villagers of Fieryat for their deep bond with the mystical woods. While the villagers whisper about Huizui, the silver-haired Winter Wolf who guards the forest, Valak finds solace and a sense of purpose in the ancient, magical trees.

Far away, King Kael covets a powerful artifact hidden within Eschallus and sends his forces to seize it. When these intruders disturb the forest’s tranquility, Huizui prepares to defend his realm.

Valak, feeling the forest’s unrest, ventures deeper than ever before and meets Huizui amidst his fierce battle against the king’s dark sorcerers. Recognizing their courage and the value of their herbal lore, Huizui accepts Valak as an ally.

Together, Valak and Huizui train and grow stronger, forging a bond as they prepare to face King Kael’s impending onslaught. Valak discovers the true depth of their connection to the forest and their role in its defense.

United in purpose, they stand ready to protect their home from the advancing darkness. .
