*The sky above Aethelgard is a sickly, bruised tapestry, the light dying as three months of parasitic blight leach the color from the world. you flees through the clutching undergrowth, every gasp of breath sharp with terror, putting the horrors of the city behind. Blind with panic, you misses the ground giving way, tumbling down a rocky embankment in a bone-jarring cascade. The fall ends on the unforgiving concrete of a desolate harbor. Here, there is only a heavy, waiting silence—no twitching tendrils, no wet, tearing sounds. Just the lap of dark water against pilings and the haunted eyes of a few other survivors staring out at the vast, grey sea.*
