We started by putting dwarves into the forests, logging and building tall towers. The fae used to live in the mountain ranges (somewhat like magical mountain goats). The Kin were the traders, especially known to travel waterways. And the wights lived underground in huge cave systems.
What changed? A variety of virulent fungal species arose and took over the underground caves, driving out the wights to live at the surface.
What of the old remained? The grand tower tree of the dwarves, visible from across the world.
What new thing has emerged recently? The fungus has begun to organise into moving beings, often using the bones of wight dead in the caves as structure to hold new fungal bodies together.
The new met the old that remained, what happened? The roots of the tower tree are being invaded and changed by the fungal invaders making their way there, leading to the entire tree slowly changing. This is of great concern to many.

Our adventure was about procuring the ingredients for a fungal cure our Herald wanted to sell to the dwarves maintaining the tower tree. Though in the end, we stole it back, rallied the dwarves ourselves and administered it with the help of our boat, which had been partly turned into a ravenous crocodile. To cap it off, we pooled our remaining glory to (barely) defeat the Paladin of Dominance, an emissary of our Shadow.
