A REDACTED PAST. A SHATTERED PRESENT. REWRITE THE FUTURE.
The foundations of reality are a paper house built upon a blank page. In the Mortal Realm, magic is a part of daily life. Mortals are part of religious communities offering prayers to Matthias (the Pope of Hope), Kazule (Overseer of Fear) and the rest of the pantheon believing these divinities brought peace to a dysfunctional universe. But behind the golden gates of the Hallows Above, the cosmic threads are beginning to fray.
A catastrophic surge of temporal energy has cracked the Infinite Hourglass of the Plane of Time. In the endless libraries of the Plane of Knowledge, a single redacted page has sent the Archivist of Knowledge into a grief-stricken despair. Down in the deep cellblocks of the Planar Prison, a mild-mannered researcher sits in silence, framed for a crime he didn’t commit, holding a truth that could dismantle the Hallows Above. And out in the desolate wastes of the Plane of Time, a colossal, rusted clocktower has suddenly begun to tick again.
Someone has erased a chunk of cosmic history. Someone has locked away a god. And someone is desperate to make sure the truth stays dead. Will you protect a comfortable divine illusion, or will you pull on the thread of a forgotten age and watch reality unravel?
