The Opening

“A nervous antiquarian beckons you into a shop smelling of wet ink and ancient dust. The iron circlet is gone, he whispers, gesturing to a shattered glass case that should not have been breakable. And now, the city's dreams are beginning to bleed.”

— Hook · retrieve

Set the Scene

The party stands before a soot-stained shopfront in the Grimoire district, where the heavy scent of old parchment is being choked out by a metallic, ozone-like stench.

Elarion Vance

Elarion is frantic and disheveled, gripping the lapels of any PC who looks capable. He offers a heavy purse and access to his private archives if the crown is returned quietly.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    The Sovenhaal watch is ignoring reports of sleepwalking because half the captains are snoring at their desks.
  2. 02
    Elarion Vance did not buy that crown; he looted it from a site that was better left buried.
  3. 03
    People in the Grimoire are waking up with no memories of the last ten years.
Stakes

If the Crown is not recovered, the entire Grimoire district will become a 'Hollow' zone where residents lose all sense of identity and the Veil permanently overlaps with the city.

Ticking Clock·Every dawn, the 'Memory Drain' increases. By the third day, NPCs the party has met will begin to forget the party exists, making investigation impossible.

Background Lore

The Starless Crown was forged in the Veil, a realm of shifting shadows and forgotten echoes. It was meant to anchor a priest to the void, but in the hands of the living, it acts as a vacuum for consciousness.

What the World Knows

An antiquarian collector in the Grimoire reported the theft of a black iron circlet recovered from a collapsed Veil shrine. Its disappearance coincides with local cases of extreme insomnia and the disappearance of several scribes.
