The day of the pink sun has allowed a one-time passage to an inaccessible continent. The landing site revealed ruins, artifacts, and remnants of Sign Language using Cyclopses. An outpost is established with no way home, and will be named “Arventa”.
The adventurers explore the nearby Citadel, the black sands deserts, and are slowly revealing more than they ever could have imagined while racing the “Preservation Syndicate”, the rats they brought along with them.
Bavo and Vulas of the Wandering Echoes light up the Onyx Ballroom with a dazzling show, but in the shadows, Parekeos fears the Preservation Syndicate is closing in on a Cyclopean Disk he’s hidden.
Their schemes tangle with politics as they weave a “battle of the bands” into Parekeos “Reki’s” mayoral campaign. When Syndicate spies draw too close, Vulas blinds them with spectacle, luring them into false promises of joining the band while Bavo shields their meeting with smokeweave wards.
Parekeos reveals the Disk lies within a collapsed mound in Arventa’s ruins. That night, the duo descend into an ancient amphitheater, deciphering celestial and diabolic melodies to open a hidden chamber.
A misplayed closing song triggers a trap, but deeper within they confront nagas who despise celestial harmonies. Through charm and music, they are led to “The Great One”, a skeletal, headless cyclops clutching a cursed ring. At first roused to fury by their discordant tones, he is soothed again by celestial chords.
Through the ring’s cacophony, a message emerges: visions of a lumbering cyclops burdened with books, whispers of the Hollow Legacy, the lost Saltstone Tower, and the name of his master- Zalvaran.
The music has opened more than doors; it has tuned their fates to a far greater discord.
