Welcome to Aethelgard, a monumental subterranean city carved into a colossal system of cavernous tunnels.

~

Four centuries ago, a catastrophic meteoritic cataclysm forced humanity underground to escape an icy, unlivable surface. Today, beneath high cavern ceilings and warm geothermal vents, the ruling Light Guild and the High Council govern from opulent stone mansions, while the populace relies on thousands of flickering candles to keep the darkness at bay.

Beneath this warm facade, danger rots the city from within. In the cold slums of the Bas-Vent, the official Stone Guard has fled, leaving a ruthless, nameless gang to enforce their own bloody law through a mysterious black market of impossible goods. Meanwhile, a insidious threat haunts the deep cavern walls: the "Stone-Whispers"—a creeping psychological horror that slowly drives citizens into deadly paranoia and madness.

Will you navigate the corrupt political schemes of the Council, rise through the violent underworld of the slums, investigate the whispers in the dark, or uncover what the city's leaders are so desperately hiding?
