Rumors of the Void-Walkers and the enigmatic hunter Elara Vance ripple through the city, fueling a quiet, pervasive terror. Seeking a reprieve from the tension, you find yourself in the dimness of the Grand Lyric Theater for a performance of 'The Silent Liturgy.' On stage, the lead actor, Julian, appears vacant, his voice a hollow echo as if he is being steered by invisible strings. During the first act, a young woman slips into the seat beside you. In the low light, you recognize the pale silver eyes and twin ponytails of Elara Vance. You keep your breath shallow and your lips sealed, unwilling to disturb the fragile silence of the theater or her presence.
