The continent's most revered religious figure, High Priestess Sefris, is said to bless the land even in death-but her tomb has just been uncovered... and it holds more than sacred relics. As noble guests gather for a dazzling gala celebrating the excavation, the truth is rotting beneath polished marble floors. A mysterious illness killed dozens of student laborers during the dig. A professor who tried to expose the truth was silenced. And his grandson, holding a ticket he doesn't yet understand, is about to walk into the glittering jaws of a nation built on secrecy.

The ancient Bird of Ba, a magical artifact once entrusted to the Priestess, is missing its final gem. And those who touch the necklace awaken cursed-human by day, feline by night-with only whispers and visions to guide them. Your party stands at the crossroads of politics, faith, and buried sin.
