Variable Interaction description[ | ]

These desciptions appear when a specific group is called for text.

Barrows[ | ]

  • [0] Barrows
  • [30] The sigils, scored into the barrow's earth, smoulder. The incandescent language is searing. A command burns your marrow: 'HERE, YOU WILL BE SILENT.'
  • [35] The entrances to the barrows have been filled with piles of rock; they are stoppered with slate and shale. Beneath your feet, the Correspondence is incandescent: 'WE HAVE RAISED YOU UP AND SO SHALL WE CAST YOU DOWN.'"

Grave[ | ]

  • [0] Here, at the heart of the forest, a great barrow built from ancient stone stands. Gates of star-forged bronze block the entrance.
  • [60] At the foot of the stair is a burial chamber, fathoms high. Hanging from the roof is a skeleton. The bones are the size of locomotives; the skull palatial. Red Correspondence sigils are branded on the bones. The trisected skull's mouth is sealed shut with chorister wax.
  • [70] The scholar translates. \"The servant was given a task, They mean to complete it. But they have no body. They mean to chain the wood. No— tame it. They overstepped when they gave voice to the voiceless. They want to undo their error.\" The scholar falls silent. \"Sorry. What?\" Their eyes widen. \"They want one of us to help them. For a year and a day.\""
  • [80] The Grave is quiet now.
  • [100] A forlorn moan emanates from deep within. The Gate is locked for always.
  • [110] The Grave is empty and silent as death. Whatever once dwelt here does no longer.

Giggling[ | ]

  • [0] You inch forward as the laughter crescendos, washing over you. A copse of trees, grey as a rainstorm, lies ahead. It blocks the rest of the dell from sight. But it is the only way forward.
  • [16] A canopy of dripping leaves conceals what lies ahead. Laughter, high and mirthless, can be heard very close by. You must go forward."

Summerset[ | ]

  • [0] A cluster of scholars has set up camp on the border of the wood. Their funding gone, they struggle to continue their research into whoever is entombed in the Regent's Grave.\n\nThe wind howls in the trees, and the skies threaten rain. The scholars huddle in their tents, brooding over papers and conspiring against colleagues.
  • [100] The camp is deserted. The scholars have left the wood: there is nothing left for them here. The banners of Summerset flap forlornly in the wind.
