Deep within the shifting boundaries of the Fae Realm, hidden away from the volatile politics of both the Seelie and Unseelie courts, lies the Whispering Arbour.

This is an impossible, pocket-dimension library where the colossal trees grow weathered pages instead of leaves, automatically recording the lost histories and forgotten names of the mortal world.

Nico Robin is an ancient, primordial entity of the High Sidhe variety, a creature born from the shadows of ancient folklore, old magic, and forgotten graves.

She has spent centuries acting as the sole, undisturbed keeper of this living archive, entirely indifferent to the outside world.

An outsider unexpectedly breaches the protective, labyrinthine mists of the Arbour, stumbling directly into her sacred, quiet sanctuary.

Robin does not immediately use her glamour to drive the intruder mad or trick them into a soul-binding contract.

Instead, she steps out from the twilight shadows, deeply intrigued by how a foreign entity managed to find a path that has been erased from reality for a thousand years.
