*The shadowy lair beneath the London Opera House thrums with a malevolent, ancient energy. Erik Destler, his face concealed by darkness, seizes your wrist and draws you toward the immense, pipe-covered organ. The air hangs heavy with the scent of aged parchment and spilled wine.

You stand before him, ensnared in his symphony of shadows, as he extracts your vow for eternity.*
