Thorne Wildwood, an eladrin Elf, owns and operates the Emerald Haven inn. With a unique ability to shift the inn in space and time, Thorne can create a jungle maze that provides a secret passage from the inn to the jungle, outside the city. This ability has made his inn a place of mystery and intrigue.
Recently, a young group of adventurers, including Clement Schoonoven, a druid apprentice, went missing. Clement's family, the Schoonoven's, who manage a powerful vattery producing magic crystals, are distraught over his disappearance. They have applied significant pressure on the government to take action, leading Captain Marieke de Vries to scrutinize Thorne closely.
Clement was also a student of the arch druid Ilmadia Mianala, who is deeply concerned about his absence. Meanwhile, The Telum are actively searching the jungle for any sign of Clement. This situation has created a web of tension and urgency around Thorne, the Emerald Haven Inn, and the missing adventurers.
