History & Mentions

§	Interactions
Session 00	As the cult summoned a time rift, Aiden worked frantically to close it while the rest of the party launched an all-out assault. Overwhelmed by endless waves of cultists, their strength was nearly depleted when Aiden finally sealed the rift, its collapse leaving a grotesque scene of twisted bodies and blood-soaked stone. The group claimed a sinister dagger, Edge of the Onyx Sands, and Chenris uncovered a critical page for the Black Ritual, along with a staff of swarming insects. The ritual’s price—a burning of sacred pages and cherished possessions—left them grimly aware of the sacrifices ahead. Following the pull of the pages, the party ventured into a dark forest that transported them to a decayed mansion of malevolent energy.
