The moment Eron accepted the blacksmith legacy quest, the world around him dissolved like smoke caught in wind.
One second, he was in the area where he gained the quest, standing before an odd anvil half-buried in stone and inscribed with molten runes. The next, a gust of ash-laden wind hit him, and everything turned dark.
Then — light.
He blinked rapidly, adjusting to the sight. He stood now in the middle of a small rustic village, nestled within a mountain valley under a crimson-tinted sky. Wooden huts dotted the edges of a dirt path, smoke trailing lazily from chimneys. It smelled of iron, old embers, and something faintly burnt.
"Where the hell...?" he muttered.
A system notification pinged.
