Chapter 1 - The Ranger's Test

Norien studied the tracks on the ground. She’d been following the trail for miles and now the tracks mingled with others and splintered into many different directions. If she was to pass this test, she needed to find the right one. Bending low, she took a moment to decipher the mess. Then, she stood and followed the trail in the direction she faced: South. Over hill and through dale she went, keeping an eye on the trail and managing to admire the beauty of the land. Suddenly, a man stood before her.

“Welcome to Henneth-Annun. You’ve passed the test… ranger.”
