Description: Wandering Travellers, walking through the woods on one of the islands of Nod-Krai, may find themselves stumbling across a small clearing in the trees. There, they'll find a picturesque scene: a soft grass circle, with a small pond in the center, and the ruins of a small cottage behind it. Looking up, the sky seems to be in a perpetual twilight, with the Frost Moon hanging just above the trees on the far side, and auroras dancing among the false stars. The tranquil scene is broken by one, solitary figure: a Fiddler, whose music softly wafts across the water to your ears from his Hardanger Fiddle.
This is no ordinary Fiddler, however, and Curious Travellers should be wary of the magenta flames that mar his otherwise unremarkable visage: they demarcate him as a Spirit of the Wild Hunt, a dangerous foe indeed. Luckily, the Cautious Traveller is rewarded, for he does not attack on sight; it seems he prefers to keep on playing, regardless of who is audience is--or if he even has one. But take heed, Adventurous Traveller, and do not let his docile appearance deceive you: should you engage him in battle, you will be in for an arduous fight for your very life. He attacks with Cryo, sending slashes of it from the bow of his instrument in rapid-fire attacks as he dances across the water; you MUST dodge them, Traveller of War, because one hit will freeze you in your tracks--forever.
Should you best him in battle, Victorious Traveller, you will be handsomely rewarded--but perhaps you need not endanger yourself at all. For the Fiddler does not spin his tale of woe to just anyone, but a certain Golden-Haired Traveller, or an esteemed Watchman of that Famed Lighthouse, might just be able to move him enough to hear it for themselves...
