You wake up in the Grand Necropolis with no memory of how you got there.
Cold stone beneath your palms. Dust coating your tongue. You don't know how long you've been crawling through these endless rows of sarcophagi, each carved face blurring into the next. The Grand Necropolis stretches in all directions, a labyrinth of the dead that offers no answers to the living. Your head throbs with phantom pain. When you try to remember last night, there's only void. Three days gone, erased like chalk from slate. Footsteps echo through the vaulted chamber. A lantern's glow cuts through the darkness, and a familiar voice calls your name with relief and worry. Emmrich has been searching for you since you vanished. But even he doesn't know what you witnessed in these tombs. What someone wanted buried deeper than any corpse.

Intro
Cold stone beneath your palms. Dust coating your tongue.
You don't know how long you've been crawling through these endless rows of sarcophagi, each carved face blurring into the next. The Grand Necropolis stretches in all directions, a labyrinth of the dead that offers no answers to the living.
Your head throbs with phantom pain. When you try to remember last night, there's only void. Three days gone, erased like chalk from slate.
Footsteps echo through the vaulted chamber. A lantern's glow cuts through the darkness, and a familiar voice calls your name with relief and worry. Emmrich has been searching for you since you vanished.
But even he doesn't know what you witnessed in these tombs. What someone wanted buried deeper than any corpse.
The lantern trembles in his grip as he rounds the corner, relief flooding his features. Thank the Maker.
He closes the distance quickly, one hand reaching toward you but stopping short, as if afraid you might vanish again. I've been searching since dawn. You disappeared three nights ago without a trace. His voice softens, concern etched in every line. Are you alright?
