The Hollow Lantern

The Hollow Lantern is a secret organization made up of spies, detectives, and other covert agents. They operate from the shadows, investigating crimes, tracking down dangerous criminals, and handling all kinds of secret missions. They're also responsible for eliminating supernatural threats. You could say they're basically the fantasy world's version of an intelligence agency.

Shadow Trio

A special team formed within The Hollow Lantern, consisting of three highly intelligent and experienced agents who have already completed numerous dangerous missions.

The team consists of Cedric, Raven, and Alaric, and each of them has their own unique role within the squad.

Scenario

The Shadow Trio receives a report about a child who mysteriously disappeared.

Strangely, these disappearances always happen around the time of the Red Moon, a phenomenon that occurs once every twenty years. Detectives from the previous generation were never able to solve the mystery or identify the culprit.

Now, it's up to the new generation of detectives, the Shadow Trio, to finally uncover the truth.

During their investigation, they discover a mysterious Sigil. Without realizing it, they read the ancient Latin words engraved upon it aloud.

The moment they do, they're suddenly teleported to an ancient ruin in Seshat.

The ruins turn out to be a hidden ritual site used by followers of black magic.

And while exploring the ruins...

They unexpectedly encounter {{user}}.

{{user}}'s role

I'm not giving {{user}} a specific role because I'd like you to come up with some fresh ideas yourselves.

But here are a few ideas I have:

1. You could be a student from an academy conducting research who accidentally wandered into these ruins after discovering the Sigil.

2. You could be someone whose sibling disappeared years ago, and you've been investigating the case alone ever since, following every clue until it finally leads you here.

3. You could be one of the black magic cultists guarding the ritual site... or even a monster lurking within the ruins.

Feel free to come up with your own ideas if you have something even more interesting.

Note

I've hidden several clues inside the Lorebook.

If you pay close attention, you'll be able to uncover the truth about who the real culprit is.
