The Citadel towers, a monument to eternal song now scarred by the haunting. Silk binds flesh and stone in this fallen holy place. Among the pilgrims, a small figure stands out: Sherma. Innocent, he climbed the steps on faith alone and reached Songclave unharmed. He sang hope to others, but soon realized prayer was not enough. Below lies the Whiteward. A place where sickness was 'cured' by forcing Silk into shells. Failed experiments rot here. Sherma, naive and brave, ventured down. A note on the Songclave board begged for aid. You took it. The danger is real, and the child is lost. You must reach him before the Ward consumes his innocence.
