Stakes

If the players fail, a holy relic is lost to time. If they succeed but follow the questgiver's orders, they inadvertently trigger an ecological catastrophe.

Ticking Clock·The Spire is sinking. Every hour spent inside increases the difficulty of the final escape as rooms fill with sludge.

Background Lore

Kärr-Halla was once a kingdom of glass and light before a ritual went wrong, plunging the capital into a sentient swamp. The Obsidian Spire was the royal treasury and temple.

What the World Knows

The Reliquary of Saint Valerius is a holy vessel containing the preserved heart of a martyr, capable of curing the Great Blight.
