Snow falls softly over the valley of Mount Umbra as the party arrives in Brookhaven, a quiet halfling village glowing with lanternlight on the eve of Zumundo's most sacred night. Songs drift through the mist, fires burn warm against the cold, and for the first time in a long while… the road feels almost welcoming.
But for Freddy, comfort comes with a cost. He discovers that his avatar is a warrior of legend. A hometown hero. A name spoken with pride and expectation. As the holiday of Lumina’s Eve unfolds in lights and laughter Freddy is pulled into a life he never lived.
As old bonds resurface and new ones are forged, the warmth of the holiday stands in stark contrast to the shadows gathering beyond the village lights. In the drifting fog at the edge of town, something stirs.
This is a night for hearth and home. For lanterns in the snow. And for courage. Whether borrowed… or earned.
