If any of you are curious of how this would have ended had it not died, I can write up a summary? For closure?

Wow, it's been awhile for this one, hasn't it? I'd love to hear what your plans were.

So from what I remember, the valley was the domain of "The Old King" an ancient fae lord, who ruled the valley for a long time. The fae have a kind of pocket realm that overlaps with the real world, that's where they all where. Then, his son got upitiy, and decided he wanted to be king. Unfortunately, the king was too strong for him to defeat on his own. So the son bargained with the stars, which are the eyes of the "gardeners" looking in (think like Cuthulu, also the owners of the universe). They gave him power but also corrupted him. This is who Autumn (The rockstar) met, and who sowed her mouth up. Since he was then king, his corruption cursed the forest, leading to a whole mess of issues, including, but not limited to, the partial fusing of the real and fae realms, madness, removing some people from existence, and picking up a relic pocket dimension from back when the universe was almost destroyed (that funky mansion). The shadow king, as the son was called, then banished his dad, and drove him mad from longing for the forest. Can you guess who he was (If not I'll just tell you)

The green lord Who spoke like this was kinda like a general, and the more "alien" part of nature. He was fun. Bellow is also the full map. I don't really remember what most of the stuff was, but I think I wanted you all to lure the Shadow king to a big lodestone, bring the old king, and let him reclaim his mantle. 

 

Ask away if you have any specfic questions

Oh woah that's actually so cool 

So what was the deal with the castle thing in the woods? Why exactly did the green lord want us to scurry around and find his stuff?? Or was that already explained and I'm being an idiot

That castle thingy has unreasonably deep lore for being irrelevant to the plot. 

Basically, a longgggg time ago, the human universe came into existence, which the Gardeners didn't like, cus we where kinda screwing things up (choking out the other universes). So they tried to destroy the universe, by sending one of their own in (the eye I'm the sky), the universe didn't like this very much, so it made magic. The first 4 mages were aligned to: Metal+ Fire, Metal+ Water, Wood+ Earth, Wood+ Air. For a while, they all fought the intruder, until they learned about the truth of the universe. Two of them, it shocked so much they left. (The wood mages, who later got married.) One of them, it drove into a nihilistic rage (Metal+ Water, who was the corpse lady in the basement), and one was driven to desperation. (Metal+ Fire, the lord of the house) 

Corpse lady betrayed everyone, and started working with the Gardeners, so her husband (Lord of the house), decided he had to put an end to it, and too his wife. He captured her, and tried to kill her, but couldn't bring himself to do it. So then he sat in his house while the world was destroyed, the universe literally burning down around him, until all that remained was his house, and a few distant remnants (the wood people). As the Interloper approached, he felt resolved, and Knew what he had to do. He only wished his daughter didn't have to die with him.

So he set a trap, and captured himself, the interloper, his wife, and his daughter into a pocket dimension that's constantly being destroyed and created. If he wavers for even a moment, it will collapse, and his millenia of suffering will be for nothing. 

As for the green lord thing. Honestly no idea what my motives where.  

Wish I knew LOL

gouhhh woah ok yeah that is pretty in-depth and I'm sorry we never really got to discover it

Green lord just likes watching us. He is a simple guy and is entertained by us

Nah it's good, I honestly had no plans for you to discover it. This is just world building I do sometimes. It's changed so many times.

Yeah he was just there, not understanding silly humans.

sorry but what would happen if he wavers? what was the reason for his suffering?

Basically, that interloper is released, and the world starts to get destroyed again.
