[attr="class","shadowsHead"] Abandoned Village Ruins
With the wolves either killed or chased off the investigation deeper into the Shadowlands can continue, the issue is the further into this place a person goes the harder it becomes to distinguish what is real from what might be an illusion. Eventually, the ruins of what looks to be an abandoned village will be found... but is everything as it seems?

She's shy but if people are kind to her she will give information and the mana beasts in the area will leave those inside the village alone.

[attr="class","shadowsHead"] The Genisis of Shadow
With the information gathered by either speaking to little Ueni or killing her and her mana beast guardians then searching the abandoned village to find maps and papers. If Ueni was befriended she would help guide you safely deeper into the grand mana zone, on the other hand, if Ueni was harmed or her guardians were in any way she wouldn't help anyone and they'd need to find their way to the destination on your own. Regardless of how it was reached, eventually a small deep purplish-black crystal shard would be seen hovering in the air. Nothing dares approach it, even what little life in the area seems to be receding from it. Whatever this shard is, it is bad news and it's clear it needs to be reported on before progressing any further. [break]
