The Rising Tide of Magic

This narrative arc covers the first act of the game, focusing on the player's arrival in Mistcliff Reach and their initial discovery of the volatile Seepage.

Plot Threads

• The Awakening: The player discovers they have a unique affinity for 'tapping' the leaks.
• The Divide: The growing tension between the Cliff-Guard and the Mist-Merchants.
• The Guardian's Shadow: Investigating the strange behavior of creatures like the Siphoned Guardian.

Key Beats

1. Arrival: Scaling the Crag-Path Ascent.
2. The First Tap: Completing The First Leak for Elara.
3. The Merchant's Offer: Meeting Captain Silas Vane at the Sky-Pier Pier.
4. Climax: Confronting the Siphoned Guardian to save the lower village from a magical flood.

Design Notes

The arc should emphasize the player's choices in Moral Tapping, with the environment of the village reflecting those choices by the end of the act.
