Princess Nimue studies the miasma in order to find a way to stop it. Her experiment shows that neither water nor steel can stop the miasma. Both are ruined by the poisonous cloud and all life in its path is extinguished. Trees remain unaffected and are shown to filter out the miasma. Nimue informs her mother, Queen Vivianne about her findings, but unfortunately there are no forests in the kingdom to stop the miasma cloud. A merchant appears and informs the two that he found the neighboring kingdom of Coppice completely abandoned. Nimue asks her mother for permission to investigate. Vivienne agrees reluctantly.

### Choices

Throughout the game, the player is asked to make several choices, and will not know what the outcome of them will be until the end of the game. This list will tell the different choices, and the outcomes from them.

**Chapter 1: A guard asks if his magic shield will keep him safe from the miasma**

* Yes (lie): Rumor will spread that magic will protect the people, only a few will evacuate Whiteriver when they need to, and many die.
* No: The guard will lead many people out of the Whiteriver and into the woods, there by saving them.

**Chapter 2: Carve your name on a tree with former great wizards**

* Yes: When the inhabitants awaken one of them have a tattoo of Nimue's name on his arm. When ents hear of this, they dispise people, and move elsewhere, diminishing the tree-barrier protecting Coppice.
* No: When the inhabitants of the cave awaken and find they've been robbed, they don't know it was you. The ents help Coppice grow more trees. Peace remains.

**Chapter 6: Take the ring?**

* Yes: Nimue realizes she has made the same mistakes as her mother. Thus decides to give up her role as queen.
* No: The ring originally belonged to Vivianne. Since you chose not to take it, you've proven to have learnt from the past. Thus, Nimune decides to take up the role as queen and be a more just ruler than her mother.

**Chapter 8: Tell Silvio about a letter calling for his arrest?**

* Yes: Nimune tells the story of Silvio, which carries on as a story of a ridicculous fool.
* No: Silvio travels elsewhere after the problems are solved, and becomes famous for his adventures.

**Chapter 10: Which Kingdom should be saved?**

* Whiteriver: The population of Whiteriver is ordered to move to Coppice, where they will be safe. The people of Coppice remain as everpresent protectors in tree-shape.
* Coppice: The people of Coppice are turned back to humans, and they live on. The few survivors of Whiteriver evacuate to Coppice.

**Chapter 10: Who will be sacrificed to secure the safety (only if Whiteriver is chosen to be saved)**

* Nimue: Nimue transforms into a fruit tree which everyone honors. Silvio and Alderbone keep her legacy alive.
* Alderbone:
* Silvio: As he is the last with magical powers, outside of the royal power. None are able to magically protect the kingdom anymore.}
