The Pendulum's Prophetic Gaze
You are summoned to the perpetually storm-lashed village of Nocturnal-Rain, where the local belfry is haunted by crows that shriek omens of death. The village elders, the Order of the Keening Eye, claim the great pendulum within holds a sealed Prophetic Eye—a divine relic that can avert a coming cataclysm. But the dissenting Ashen Vigil, a sect of scarred veterans, believe the Eye is a predatory god-prison that feeds on premonitions of doom. Both factions need the Eye for their own desperate reasons, and the crows' omens are growing more specific, naming villagers by name. Your choices will determine whose future the Eye will shape.
Chronicle Prelude
The tavern 'The Drowned Bell' in the heart of Nocturnal-Rain village, a place of damp wood, whispered prayers, and the constant, maddening cawing from the belfry hill. The air smells of ozone and old guilt.
Environmental Traits
The region is under a perpetual, localized storm system—'Nocturnal Rain'—that breeds prophetic crows. The ultimate victory condition is to reach the Sealed Pendulum Chamber in the belfry's core and decide the fate of the Prophetic Eye, whose unsealing will either avert or trigger a prophesied 'Eventide Collapse,' a wave of madness that will consume the valley.
