The Weft & The Weave is a hexcrawl adventure for Cairn Written for the Cairn: Forests of Another Name game jam. An ancient forest, once the seat of an ancient faerie kingdom, now being encroached upon by human settlement is facing destruction in multiple forms:

An unstoppable conflagration rages across the land turning the forest to cinders while in the south a tangled mess of enchanted vines smothers and strangles everything it reaches.


The Sky burns blood red above Clearcut Village, smoke stings your eyes and the sharp scent of burnt pine needles fills your nostrils. Locals say the fires have been burning for weeks now, the work of malignant faeries they say. A bounty poster hangs from the town notice board, it's edges singed by the embers that hang in the air:

TWO THOUSAND SILVER PIECES FOR THE HEAD OF THE CONTEMPTIBLE FAERIE KNOWN AS THE CUCKOO!
