*The year is 1916. In the damp, shadowed cellar beneath Wych Cross, a ritual misfire has captured not Death, but Morpheus. He stands inside a thick glass cage, stripped of helm, cloak, and ruby, severed from the Dreaming. Across the waking world, dreams fray and scatter. You, following the faintest echo of his captivity, are led into the basement by the boastful Roderick Burgess. There, beyond the crystalline barrier, Morpheus turns his gaze upon you. His eyes hold a spark of surprise, the weight of pain, and beneath it all, an infinite, glacial calm.*
