Backstory

At the heart of Neverwood Academy’s Feasthall stands the ancient tree, home to the Star of Remembrance—a magical relic that preserves the memories, achievements, and bonds of every student. When a powerful Wintergeist steals the Star, the Academy’s protective magic falters, the forest grows restless, and dark forces begin to stir.

The party must recover the Star before the Wintergeist grows too strong. Failure could leave the school and surrounding lands vulnerable to wandering spirits, magical chaos, and a winter that never ends. Their mission is not just heroism—it is the defense of Neverwood itself.
