Introduction :
The teachings of the Oak tell of the time humans
emerged from the darkness of their caves and took 01
shelter under the White Oak, building their first city 1
in its protective gaze. Finding prosperity with the
Oak’s guidance, humanity vowed never to return to
the sunless underground. c
The Mouth of Antiquity is a symbol of this vow. It is
the entrance into the face of the Imperial Mountains,
an opening into the network of caverns that used c
to be humanity’s home. But the caverns have been
expanded and rebuilt into an underground fortress
— a prison into which the worst criminals of the
city are cast. c
This is where you find yourself now. Having been
relieved of the ill-fated dagger, along with the rest
of your arms and armor, you now sit together in a
dank cell, awaiting your trial. Not knowing how long
it may take for your trial to come, you settle into your
circumstance, eating a bowl of foul gruel provided
by the jailer.
c c
It seems, however, someone else has other plans for
you. You hear toward the back of the cell the sound
of small pebbles falling against the stone floor. You
strain your eyes in the dark to see the silouhettes of
two men in black clothes moving toward you. Behind d
them, you see a rope leading up toward a small hole
in the ceiling. One of them throws a card at your feet,
