The invitation is written on a roll of bark. The Horned Knight invites you to a feast at his Heartwood Court. He promises entertainment, hospitality, and a chance for you each to learn something about the other.

That night, a wind blows over the forest and the leaves whisper. The next day, another bark-letter arrives. It bears seven words: ‘You are not welcome in the wood.’

The Horned Knight is no longer interested in civil relations.
