The Opening

“The children of Oakhaven are waking up hollow, their memories fading like morning mist. The local magistrate begs for your aid before the entire village forgets its own name. Something is feeding in the attic of the world.”

— Hook · Investigative Horror

Set the Scene

The party stands in the town square of Oakhaven, surrounded by distraught parents and a heavy, unnatural silence that seems to dampen the sound of the nearby forest.

Magistrate Vane

Vane approaches with shaking hands, clutching a list of names. He offers his family signet ring as collateral, promising gold from the town treasury if the 'fog of the mind' is lifted.

Stakes

If not stopped within forty-eight hours, the permanent mental regression of the village's youth will lead to a total societal collapse and the permanent loss of their souls.

Ticking Clock·The Memory Tide: Every 6 hours of in-game time, another NPC loses a vital memory, increasing the DC of social checks by 2.

Background Lore

For centuries, Oakhaven was built over a thinning of the veil between the Material Plane and the Ethereal Plane. A renegade wizard named Malchor has harnessed this to create a device that distilled life experiences into 'Temporal Residue'.

What the World Knows

An unknown magical plague is causing amnesia among the youth, potentially spread by contaminated well water or a cursed artifact.
