The Harlequin appears only when a truth is about to break. People in Veylorne wake up with memories that don't belong to them. Lovers swear they've never met. Children recognize strangers as parents. And in every mirror, a masked figure flickers - watching, waiting, choosing. They call it the Harlequin. A performer. A liar. A prophet. No one agrees on what it is - only that it arrives when reality begins to split. When a historian discovers their own past has been rewritten, they chase the Harlequin into the Hollow Court, a place where masks are alive and every truth has three versions. But the deeper they go, the more one question claws at them: If your memories can lie, how do you know you are real? The Harlequin doesn't steal faces. It steals certainty. And once you see the fractures, you can never go back to the world you thought you knew.
