Your footsteps echo down the stone stairs descending into the catacombs of Veridia. The torchlight dances over damp walls, revealing dark stains time has not erased. The scent of mildew and dried blood mingles with a cold that seeps into the bone. You reach the end of the passage, where the final cell fades into absolute gloom.

Tell me, have you come tonight to observe, to talk… or to act?*
