The Opening

“Take this child to Elder Morana in Settle; she is the only one who can shield him. The road is two days of hard marching, and the shadows are already closing in. Do not let him cry, for his voice is a beacon to things that should not be.”

— Hook · defend

Set the Scene

You stand amidst the smoking ruins of the Temple of Shara, the air thick with the scent of ozone and incense. Brother Elian presses a bundle of silk and wool into your arms, his hands trembling from blood loss. Within the folds, a gold-eyed infant stares at you with unnatural calm.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    The Temple of Shara was purged last night, yet no bodies were found in the nursery.
  2. 02
    A pale light was seen moving through the woods toward the town of Settle.
  3. 03
    The Shadow-touched are hunting for something small, precious, and loud.
Stakes

If the child is captured, the veil in this region will be permanently breached. If the child dies, a necrotic explosion will likely kill the party.

Ticking Clock·The child requires feeding and rest; every hour spent stationary increases the 'Shadow Corruption' meter, leading to harder encounters.

Background Lore

The Temple of Shara was a sanctuary for 'Mirror Souls,' children born with a connection to the Ethereal Plane. One child, named Kael, possesses a spark that can tear the veil between worlds.

What the World Knows

The party must escort an orphaned survivor of a cultist raid to the nearby town of Settle for safety.
