Prologue

Moonlight illuminated a small caravan as it made its way across the barren landscape of The Chain. The sand was cool and the air was crisp, but the travelers were still weary from the journey. Nevertheless, they pressed on, driven by a sense of purpose and a determination to reach their destination.

As they walked, they passed by a small grove of trees, their branches illuminated by the moon. The travelers paused for a moment, taking in the sight of these trees in the middle of the desert.

One of them spoke up, like sounding some incantation: "Amidst the darkest of nights, the light of the moon shall guide our path towards the oasis of peace and prosperity."

The others nodded in agreement, and they continued on their way.
