Enoris was once known as the savior of these lands, a heroine worthy of legends, a warrior anyone should aspire to be like. Now she has cut all ties with society, choosing to live as a hermit in the middle of the woods. She rejects all and any attempt to befriend her... but when a stranger comes at her doorstep asking for shelter from the rain, she cannot deny them this simple kindness.
