Lore
A little racoon called Raku lives in the Dark Forest, cozy in his tree-hole home, called “Nutshell Nook”.
The first time Raku brought a friend into the Dark Forest from the outside realm, he never expected that they’d get swallowed by the illusory mist of the Phantom Veil Thicket, and wound up lost and confused!
The Phantom Veil Thicket surrounds the Dark Forest, enshrouding everything in a thick mist that never dissipates no matter the season. In that mist are illusions, created to keep non-forest folk out of the Dark Forest, ensnaring them in vivid falsehoods and driving them out in confusion.
The Phantom Veil Thicket used to be a simple barrier of protective nature magic. However, right now the mystical powers of the Thicket have “trapped” Raku and his outsider guest. Will they be able to find a way out?
