Deeper into the forest, you come into the presence of Agnesse, The Witch-Wyf, and lady of these woods. She seems to have been waiting for you.
“Hail and well-met traveller” She says “I augured your arrival in the forest this morning, and have been preparing to meet you. I hope that you have spoken with Bruane already, for the Cunning Man is a powerful and wise man. But I have many things to tell you, as well…some of which may interest you greatly.
Beyond these woods, lies a dark road, which leads into the depths of the world below. It is the Low Road that leads into Elfhame. Once I have readied you for the journey, you may choose to descend into the Great Queen’s realm, and with her blessing, emerge with great wisdom. If you choose not to, you may continue your journey elsewhere, all the wiser for
having spoken to me.
Now…what lore may I interest your seeking mind with? By the Lady, ask me what you will, for I shall never speak falsely to you.”
